Candles and Holly Cross Stitch Pattern

Piccola Parigi is a Europe-based Etsy shop with a team of designers bringing you modern and fun cross stitch patterns for lots of occasions. With a heavy emphasis on wedding cross stitch, you’ll also find holiday patterns for Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day and more, plus lots of other seasonal stitches.

One thing that caught my eye in this shop is the large number of gnome cross stitch patterns, which is sure to delight anyone who likes gnomes as a decorating device throughout the year. These have an emphasis on holidays, too, including Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day and Mardi Gras.

The Thanksgiving ones shown here would be great to stitch and display throughout the fall. They shown gnomes in falling leaves with various fall things including fruit, a pumpkin, leaves and sunflowers. All of the projects are a little different but they use between 21 and 23 colors and range from 60 to 74 stitches wide and 101 to 110 stitches tall. They’d be super cute all in frames hung together, or just stitch up your favorite.

A lot of the wedding patterns involve floral wreaths, but you can also buy sets of floral wreath patterns that you can stitch as they are or add your own words to.

There’s also an adorable set of black cat cross stitch patterns, which I only bring up because I have a black cat and I love them.

And while it’s not quite seasonally appropriate as I write this, there’s a fun selection of Halloween cross stitch patterns, too, including more cats, super realistic haunted houses, less realistic but still cute haunted houses, some funny projects, and of course gnomes. Something for almost everyone!

Check out their shop at Piccola Parigi to find something fun to stitch. And be sure to let me know if you have a favorite cross stitch designer I haven’t shared yet so we can get them in front of everyone!
