Celebrate the Year of the Dog in Cross Stitch

January 10, 2018 by Sarah White

year of the dog cross stitch patterns

2018 is the year of the dog in Chinese astrology, so why not stitch up a dog symbol or another fun project involving a dog?

Both Holly’s Hobbies and Stitching Stitches have cross-stitch patterns showing the Chinese zodiac symbol for the dog. The first is 50 x 50 stitches or 3.6″/9cm square and the second 47 wide x 49 high, which comes out to
3.36″ x 3.50″ or 8.54 x 8.8 cm. Holly’s costs $2.79, which the Stitching Stitches chart is $2.48. Both are PDF downloads from Etsy.

Also on Etsy, I found this cute Year of the Dog cross stitch pattern from The Art of Cross Stitch. Featuring a dog that sort of reminds me of Day of the Dead designs, this one runs $4.50 and measures 95 x 109 stitches, which comes out to 7 by 8 inches on 14 count.

There’s also the magnificent Chinese New Year Dog cross stitch design from Scarlet Pyjamas, which is $4.51. Inspired by papercuts, the finished project is about 8.5 by 12 inches.

Are you stitching anything special for the Year of the Dog? I’d love to hear about it!

Labubu Cross Stitch Patterns

For some reason I missed out on the beginning of the Labubu trend (my teen isn’t into it) but now that I’m seeing it everywhere it seems like a good time to look into Labubu cross stitch patterns. 

These creepy cute little monsters show up in all sorts of cute outfits, which makes them fun to stitch for a Labubu lover of any age. 

In cross stitch the pink Labubu seems to show up the most often. You can stitch up this one with a slightly sinister face from MK Cross Stitch Shop. This one is 23 by 43 stitches and uses eight colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 1.64 by 3.07 inches, or 4.17 by 7.8 cm. 

There’s also this fuzzy little monster from Alya Cross Stitch, which uses six colors on a project that’s 100 by 169 stitches. 

Or try this lovely little Labubu with a flower in its hair. This one is by Stitch Heart UA, and would be perfect for a little kid’s room or as a decoration for spring. It measures 93 by 128 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 92. inches/16.9 by 23.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and 5 blends.

If you want to just stitch the faces, I like this collection of Labubu heads to cross stitch in different pastel colors. This design from Stitched by Sophie AUS has 23 colors and measures 120 stitches square. That comes out to about 8.6 inches or 22 cm square on 14 count fabric. 

Or you can make a little collection of different characters with this set from Sampler Cross Stitch. Stitch one or stitch them all. Each one is 30 by 60 stitches, or 2.57 by 4.57 inches/6.5 by 11.6 cm. 

How about a Halloween themed Labubu? I love this one from Handiwork of Natalie, who also has some other themed Labubu cross stitch patterns. This one is 66 by 99 stitches and uses 12 colors. It suggests cross stitch fabric that’s 4.75 by 7 inches or 12 by 18 cm.
