Christmas Tree Cross Stitch Patterns

by

The past couple of years we haven’t put up a Christmas tree because we have cats that can’t be trusted. I’m thinking of getting a tabletop tree this year, but I also think it would be fun to craft a bunch of different trees to hang on the wall or have on tables or on the fireplace as decoration.

Whether you want to stitch a single Christmas tree or a whole bunch, here’s a fun collection of Christmas tree cross stitch patterns.

I love this realistic Christmas tree pattern from Wild Bluebell Patterns. You can leave it plain as it is or add a little bit of snow or ornaments to the branches if you like. Or even sew on beads or sequins instead of embellishing it with stitching. It’s 110 by 174 stitches so you have a lot of room to play. You can get the pattern on Etsy.

For something a little more whimsical that can use up all the little bits of thread left over from other projects, check out these colorful scrappy trees in post from Etsy seller Schultzs Stitches. All the patterns and colors here are so much fun, and the project measures 93 by 99 stitches.

This scroll Christmas tree cross stitch pattern is also lots of fun and has a different look from your traditional tree. It uses three colors and measures 73 by 110 stitches. You can grab it from FloReen Studio on Etsy.

This Christmas tree is housing a collection of animals including birds and squirrels, worked in different colors. It’s a free download from DMC via Lovecrafts, and it’s rated for intermediate stitchers.

How about a tree made out of trees? These tiny trees would be super cute as a border on another project, or stitch them up sampler style as shown. This pattern is from Climbing Goat Designs on Etsy and measures 49 by 74 stitches, and uses just four colors.

This collection of fun patterned trees would look cute in their own frames hung together, or you could put them onto one bigger piece of fabric in a single frame. This pattern set includes six trees, but the same designer (Nikki Pattern on Etsy) has a set with four designs, and one with 10 designs, so you can pick a set you like that suits your needs.

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.
