Boba Cat Cross Stitch Patterns

This all started with me browsing some of the sites I look at for patterns and content to share, and I found the Boba tea cat cross stitch pattern from JPCrochet.

This adorable project has a cat in the cup and on the lid. It uses eight colors and measures 111 by 139 stitches, which comes out to 20 by 25 centimeters, or 7.8 by 9.8 inches.

And it is cute, and I wanted to share it, but there’s not a lot to say about a boba cat cross stitch pattern. So I went looking for more and the Internet did not disappoint.

There’s the cat cup boba cross stitch pattern from Needle Minder Lair, which uses eight colors and is 81 by 47 stitches. That’s 5.79 by 3.36 inches, or 14.71 by 18.53 cm.

Or you can stitch a boba cat cup complete with arms and a tail, like this one from Kawaii Template Studio. It measures 60 by 75 stitches and uses four colors.

Were you hoping for a cat drinking boba instead? I’m glad you asked, because there’s also the cat and bubble tea cross stitch pattern from Stitch A Quote. This one uses six colors and is 56 by 72 stitches, which is 3.9 by 5.1 inches or 10 by 13 cm on 14 count fabric.

And here’s another cat drinking bubble tea from Lazy Lamb Co. This thirsty gray kitty pattern is 2.07 by 2.21 inches (that’s 5.25 by 5.6 cm). It looks like it uses six colors and includes backstitch to outline the cat and the cup.

How about more cats in bubble tea? This sampler includes six kitties floating in tasty and colorful beverages, and you could easily change up the colors on the cats to match any special felines in your life. The design is from Patterns by SA Stitch and it calls for 13 colors. If you stitch the whole thing it’s 116 by 107 stitches, but you can also pick out your favorite beverage and just stitch that one. The whole thing measures 8.29 by 7.64 inches, or 21 by 19 cm.

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools.

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there.

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few.

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital.

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well.

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders.

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions.

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
