Christmas Village Cross Stitch Patterns

November 15, 2023 by Sarah White

I always feel a little weird sharing holiday patterns as early as I know I need to for people to be able to make them for the current year’s holiday season, but in this case we might already be too late to start and finish these this year. But I know people love Christmas villages, both three-dimensional and in cross stitch form, and these would definitely be well worth the time they’ll take even if they’re not ready until next year.

This all started when I came across une rue á Noel from Chez Mounette, which you might guess from the name shows a winter street scene. It includes five buildings and the chart is in color but doesn’t show the DMC numbers for the colors, so you can use what you have to make this pretty scene.

Zanna Cross Stitch’s pretty Christmas village shows six buildings and a church steeple all lit up and covered in snow, with a little creek running through the scene. This one is definitely for experienced stitches, as the size is 400 by 400 stitches and there is no white space. It uses 85 colors and you can find it on Etsy.

I love the fanciful (and colorful!) village shown in this Christmas town scene from Stitchrovia on Etsy. This one is 140 by 141 stitches, or about 10 by 10 inches on 14 count fabric. It only uses whole stitches so it’s a good choice for new stitchers ready to take on a big project.

A more simplified version of the Christmas village comes from Lucie Heaton, whose pretty Christmas village measures 112 by 112 stitches, or about 8 by 8 inches on 14 count fabric. It’s so cute on sky blue fabric with its pink Christmas tree! It uses 15 colors and you can find it on Etsy.

This classic Christmas town cross stitch pattern from Wombat Stitching on Etsy has sets of buildings lined up together and a little sampler style scene at the bottom. This one is 323 by 137 stitches, or 22.8 by 9.4 inches on 14 count fabric. It uses 16 colors and is all full cross stitches. 

Or spread out buildings all over your fabric along with some pretty trees to make this Christmas village cross stitch pattern from Etsy seller ABC Cross Stitch. This is a good one for more advanced stitchers, and comes out to around 18 inches square on 14 count fabric.

Printable Cross Stitch Sheets Make it Easy to Cross Stitch on Clothes

Lately I have been feeling like all of my clothes are looking a little worn or feeling a little tired. I don’t want to buy new clothes, though, so there’s been a lot of mending, altering and adding special touches to things that otherwise might get overlooked or not worn at all. 

As an example, not too long ago I added a little bit of embroidery to a T-shirt, which was a lot of fun to do and made me start eyeing all my solid-colored garments and wondering how they might look with some stitching added. 

Of course you can cross stitch on garments, too, whether T-shirts or woven tops, skirts, pants and more. But it can be tricky to transfer cross stitch designs to your garment to make stitching easier. 

Much like with embroidery, it’s great to use a water soluble stabilizer to keep your fabric in place while you stitch and to transfer your design (or your cross stitch grid at least) while you’re stitching. Then you just wash away the stabilizer when you’re done and it will look like the stitching has always been there. 

Ashley General Handmade uses Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch, which is a product I use, too. It’s easy to use and washes away cleanly. 

To make it even easier, she designed some printable cross stitch grids at different counts that you can print out to draw your own cross stitch designs, but you can also print the grid right on the Sulky, so you can stitch on top of squares and then remove them when you’re done. 

Brilliant, right? 

She has pages as big as 8 count and all the way down to 20 (remember: the bigger the number the smaller the stitches will be) that you can download and print to make your own designs and also use to make stitching on clothing easier. I’m definitely going to try this the next time I want to cross stitch on fabric!

You can grab her printables over at Ashley General Handmade.
