Camping Themed Cross Stitch Patterns

by

I have only been camping in a tent a few times in my life and I have to say I don’t enjoy it. But I know some people do, and if camp life is the best life for you, you’ll want to check out these camping themed cross stitch patterns.

First I love this little tent pattern from Plaid Online. It’s an easy little pattern that uses five colors and measures 34 by 32 stitches. The back stitched trees, grass and clouds add an extra element of cuteness.

This tent surrounded by mountains, trees and a river could almost convince me to try camping again. The design is from So Easy Pattern and it measures 109 by 87 stitches. It uses 13 colors and is available on Etsy.

Camp Cross Stitch has a lot of camping themed cross stitch projects as you might guess from the name. I was trying to keep this set more to tents than campers (though I’m sure we’ll get to those before the summer is out) so we’re keeping it simple here with one that says “let’s go camping” with a tent and a tree. It looks like it uses about seven colors and the sales page says it measures about 5.5 by 3 inches on 14 count fabric (or 14 by 7.6 cm).

This camping cross stitch sampler does include a camper but also two tents so I’ll allow it. The design is from Cross Stitch Foxy, and while it’s cute all in one piece like this, you could also stitch individual motifs on different projects (patches for your hiking pack, maybe?). The full design is 15 by 8 inches/38 by 21 cm on 14 count fabric and uses 24 colors. The stitch area is 210 by 114 stitches.

And speaking of minis there are also these cure adventure and camping themed designs from The Stitch Mill that are cute in a bunch or stitched individually. The larger adventure set is shown in a 10-inch hoop, while the smaller camping themed sampler is in a 6 in hoop. Both are stitched on 18 count fabric.

Toy Story Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m going to go ahead and admit that I totally missed Toy Story 4, so it took my by surprise when Toy Story 5 came out, but let’s celebrate with some Toy Story cross stitch patterns. 

This sweet design including Woody, Buzz and Jessie is from The Xstitch Shop, and they actually have a few different Toy Story options. This one says it is for intermediate stitches, probably because of the size and number of colors, but the sales page doesn’t say how big it is or how many colors it uses. It’s still cute, though!

If you’ve got a fan of Jessie in your household, this collection of Jessie themed icons is super cute to stitch. The design is from Mercury Stitches and it measures 97 by 144 stitches. that comes out to 6.9 by 10.3 inches, or 17.6 by 26.1 cm, and uses 11 colors. It has full and half cross stitches, as well as back stitching and French knots. 

Share the love of friendship with this sweet Woody and Buzz heart hands cross stitch pattern from Pixell Patterns. This design uses eight colors and is shown worked on 14 count fabric, but the notes don’t indicate how bit is is (based on a finished project photo, though, it looks pretty big). 

And for the Buzz Lightyear fans, of course we have to have a “To infinity and beyond” pattern, so here’s one from Silver Lake Stitches. This design is super cute on blue fabric, but use whatever you have. It measures 78 by 92 stitches, which comes out to 5.6 by 6.6 inches, or 14.2 by 16.7 cm, on 14 count fabric. It calls for 14 colors. 

Or if you want to go beyond the core three main character toys, check out this project from ThreeOOne Patterns, which includes our main toys as well as Bo Peep and her sheep, Bullseye the horse, the Slinky dog, Rex, Ham, the Potato Heads and an alien. The design is 310 by 80 stitches, which comes out to 21.14 by 3.5 inches, or 53.7 by 8.9 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 65 colors. Or pick out your favorite characters to make a smaller project. 

All those characters and a few more are found on the mini Toy Story character sampler from Knotalot UK (only part of which is shown above). This one uses 31 colors and measures 134 by 108 stitches. It includes whole and fractional stitches, as well as back stitching. On 14 count fabric stitching the whole thing would make a project that’s 9.57 by 7.71 inches, or 24.31 by 19.59 cm.
