Christmas Tree Cross Stitch Patterns

November 13, 2023 by Sarah White

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.

Reasons to Love Small Cross Stitch Designs

This post is inspired by a post I saw over at Caterpillar Cross Stitch about why small cross stitch patterns are great, but I can tell you my own stories of cross stitching woes, too.

I have always been a fan of small projects because I just don’t have that much stamina when it comes to cross stitch (or much else). I feel like an hour of knitting or crocheting gets you a lot more to show for your time than an hour of cross stitch, especially when you’re working on a complicated project.

Which is why a project I started for my daughter probably more than a year ago is still unrecognizable as its subject because I’ve barely done any work on it. (I’d like it to be done either for her birthday in September or for Christmas, so I’d better get over my big-project issues and get to stitching.)

The post covers a lot of reasons to love small projects, including that they are light on your budget (both monetary and time wise). It also looks at the basic supplies you need for projects big or small and gives you lots of ideas for how to use small cross stitch projects as decor or to make into gifts.

There are also tips for success when working on small projects. You might think it’s fine to rush but attention to detail is super important when you’re working on a small scale because a misplaced stitch or two can really make a difference when there are relatively few stitches in your project to start with.

Check out the post over at Caterpillar Cross Stitch, and let me know what you love about small cross stitch patterns. Or if you’re a fan of the epic projects, let me know that, too. Maybe you’ll convince me to give it more of a try!
