Christmas Gnome Cross Stitch Patterns

Gnomes are a fan favorite all year long, but they’re especially welcome in winter and during the holiday season. Check out these winter and Christmas gnome cross stitch patterns and stitch your new favorite holiday character!

I love this winter themed gnome from Shine Star X Stitch, which features a gnome with a tree growing out of its hat and a bird resting on a branch. I think I like it because it’s green but it’s not a harsh Christmas green, so it ties in with Christmas stuff but you can continue to display it when the holiday is over. It measures 200 by 200 stitches and uses 22 colors of floss.

Another great winter gnome is this one by Stitch by Ebi. This gnome standing in the snow measures 160 by 155 stitches and uses 26 colors. On 14 count fabric it measures 11.4 by 11.1 inches, or 29 by 28.2 cm.

If you’re looking for something a little smaller, this set of 12 holiday gnome cross stitch patterns looks like a lot of fun. It’s from 4StitchLV and includes gnomes in lots of different hats as well as one with a gift on its head. These would be fun to stitch up as gift tags for everyone on your list.

Another cute set of small gnome cross stitch patterns is this one from Sampler Cross Stitch. These 24 little designs stitch up in no time, ranging in size from 32 by 42 stitches to 49 by 54 stitches, depending on the design. They all use the same handful of colors, too, which is great if you want to stitch a bunch of them.

Favorite Gnome can be counted on to have a lot of great gnome cross stitch content, and this gnome wrapped up in Christmas lights is no exception. It’s worked in 38 colors and measures 88 by 122 stitches, which comes out to about 6 by 9 inches/15.3 by 22.2 cm on 14 count fabric.

If you’re looking for a very Santa-coded gnome, this one from X-Stitch Labb is a nice one. At 165 by 165 stitches, it uses 22 colors and comes out to 11.79 inches or 29.9 cm on 14 count fabric (sizes for other counts are included in the listing).

I also like this candy cane gnome from Moon Lit Patterns, which also looks a bit like Santa. This one uses 23 colors and is 200 by 200 stitches, which on 14 count fabric is 14.3 inches or 36.3 cm on either side.

Hanukkah is a great reason to pull out your cross stitch fabric and thread and stitch up some fun seasonal cross stitch patterns.

If you have trouble spelling Hanukkah (I know I do!) you’ll want to stitch up the How Do You Spell… project from SKB Cross Stitch Design. This one includes a bunch of different ways to spell the holiday, along with some symbols like a dreidel and menorah. (Technically I think all the ways to spell it are “correct.”) The pattern includes full, fractional and bask titches, and measures 8.5 by 7 inches, or 21.6 by 17.8 cm. It has the date for 2004/5785 but you can easily change the year or leave that part off.

Another project with some fun word play is the Words to Live By chart from Sam Brie Stitches. This one includes Hanukkah related symbols and word presented crossword puzzle style, which is fun to stitch and to display. The design uses 10 colors and measures 74 by 103 stitches. It’s shown worked on 18 count fabric.

I may have shared these before, but the Hanukkah patterns from the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery are so cute they’re definitely worth sharing again. Happy Hanukkah features a menorah, dreidels, gelt, stars and candles, and it fits in a 6-inch hoop. At 75 by 75 stitches, it comes out to 5.4 inches/13.4 cm on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen. They also have this cute little dreidel stamp cross stitch pattern, which is 39 by 49 stitches, or 2.8 by 3.5 inches (about 7 by 9 cm) on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen.

Works By ABC has a lot of great patterns for Hanukkah, but here are just a couple to get you started. The Rules for Dreidel design is fun for kids and adults and shows the different sides of the dreidel and what it means when you land on them. The stitch count is 62 by 94 and its shown worked on 32 count linen. It calls for three colors. I also like this menorah one, which measures 44 by 49 stitches and uses two colors along with coordinating seed beads. On 32 count linen as shown (equivalent to 16 count Aida) it measures 2.75 by 3.1 inches, or almost 7 by 7.8 cm.
