Candy Cross Stitch Patterns

Sometimes the random things I get shown on Etsy or Pinterest lead me in different directions than you’d expect. Recently I came across this cool old Whitman’s candy tin that was made to look like it was stamped with cross stitch, which had me searching for a cross stitch version of the infamous butter cookie sewing tin.

I couldn’t find any of those (maybe that’s a project for me to design?) but I did come across some other fun candy cross stitch projects.

First there’s these adorable gummy bears from Mariana Goncalves ART. The full design is57 by 51 stitches, but you could also stitch individual ones, or line them up vertically to stitch a gummy bookmark. As shown the design is 4.1 by 3.6 inches or 10.3 by 9.3 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Speaking of gummies, Lucky Frog Pixels has this cute sampler of gummy candies, from fish to rings and bears to worms. This project uses 38 colors and measures 84 by 85 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 6.1 inches or 15.6 cm, which the designer says fits in a 9-inch hoop.

For Valentine’s Day and beyond there’s this cute jar of candy hearts designed by HOME and CATS. This is a pattern for stitchers with some experience, because it uses full and quarter cross stitches as well as backstitch, and it uses 30 colors. The design is 65 by 70 stitches, which is 4.6 by 5 inches, or 11.7 by 12.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

British stitchers will enjoy this ode to All Sorts from Stitchrovia. Stitch the full design or a few of your favorite shapes. The whole piece is 120 by 180 stitches and it uses 20 colors. The pattern notes suggest different fabric counts, but on 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.6 by 12.9 inches/21.8 by 32.8 cm.

And speaking of British sweets, there’s also this magical project full of Honeydukes candies from Harry Potter. The design is from Patronus Stitch and comes out to 12.5 by 5.7 inches/31.75 by 14.5 cm on 14 count fabric. The notes don’t say how many colors it uses but I’ll bet it’s a lot!

Have You Worked a Stamped Cross Stitch Project?

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost.

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric.

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28.

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric.

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
