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.

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.
