Clover Cross Stitch Patterns

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, so I think it’s time to start stitching up some clover! Four-leaf clovers bring you luck, but shamrocks are three-leaved and more of a symbol of Ireland. Whichever way you stitch it, make sure it’s green!

If you’re looking for more shamrocks, check out this compilation of shamrock cross stitch patterns (I did let one four-leaf clover slip in but it’s mostly shamrocks!).

Cross stitch clover is an easy shape that’s quick to stitch up even for new stitchers. You can probably make this one from French Creek Farmhouse in an hour or so, as its relatively small and uses just one color.

Speaking of small and speedy projects, I love these little cross stitched hair clips from A Happy Song. They didn’t share the chart but you can see in the photos that the clovers are just heart shapes, and this is so clever I felt like I needed to share it anyway.

Just slightly more difficult because of the addition of a second color is the Lucky Clover cross stitch pattern from Keeping It Real. And of course you could do this one with a solid color of thread or even variegated floss if you prefer.

Mix and match all the green threads you have in your stash to make this one from Etsy Sellery. Mariana Goncalves ART. This one is 56 by 56 stitches, or 4 inches/10 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, so it’s still pretty quick and eas

Add some different textures as well as different colors with the clover cross stitch design from Mamaida Pattern, which you can find on Etsy. This one uses five colors and comes out to 47 by 58 stitches.

Or give your clover a paisley look with this design from Crazy B Patterns, also on Etsy. This is a bigger one, measuring 165 by 194 stitches, which is 11.78 by 13.85 inches or 29.94 by 35.20 cm on 14-count fabric. It’s all full cross stitches so it’s not that difficult, just a large project.

If you’re giving a gift for St. Patrick’s Day or just want a little and cute project to decorate with, check out these clover cross stitch gift tags from FUDAStitch on Etsy. Each one uses one to three colors and fits on a 2 by 3 inch (5 by 7.5 cm) piece of fabric.

Shamrock Cross Stitch Patterns

There’s not much to say about Etsy seller Knotty yites other than if you like pop culture cross stitch patterns this is the place for you. It’s pretty much all they do, and there’s a wide range of fandoms and characters represented.

I first learned about this shop when I was doing Only Murders in the Building cross stitch patterns, and if you like that one the rest of their patterns are similar in vibe. They feature little characters in a lineup, sometimes labeled with the name of the show/movie they are from or with other text.

There’s everything from She-Ra to Ghostbusters, Lost to Xena, Game of Thrones to the MCU. While lots of the designs only cover a few characters, there are some larger ones as well.

Like this “space superhero” alphabet full of characters (and one spaceship!) from the Star Wars universe. The full design is 196 by 272 stitches and uses 81-86 colors (the range being because there are actually two alphabets with some different characters to choose from, or mix and match your favorites).

If you’ve ever wanted to stitch up Katniss and the mockingjay pin, an homage to Cersei Lannister or Jem and the Holograms, this shop has got you covered. Or you can try the X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or characters from the video game Mass Effect.

Like I said, there’s a wide variety.

If this sounds like the kind of shop you would like, check out all the options at Knotty Bytes. I’d love to hear if you make something from this shop (or if you have already!).
