Mardi Gras is a fun holiday for a lot of reasons, but I think the best part might be that it brings us some different colors at a time when winter has been hanging around for entirely too long.
Grab your purple, gold and green floss and stitch up some fun Mardi Gras cross stitch patterns.
This fleur de lis in classic Mardi Gras colors would be quick and easy to stitch. It’s 56 by 63 stitches, or about 4 by 4.5 inches on 14 count fabric. Perfect for a little frame or to stitch on an apron for frying up beignets. It uses four colors and you can get it from Daily Cross Stitch.
If you want something a little more elaborate, Sam X Stitch has a pretty pattern featuring a mask, diamonds, fleur de lis, fireworks and the words Mardi Gras. This one uses eight colors and is 129 by 129 stitches, which is a little more than 9 inches in each direction. This one is available on Etsy.
And because I’m a cat person I couldn’t resist sharing this super cute Mardi Gras cat cross stitch pattern. Designed by Pamela Kellogg of Kitty and Me on Etsy, it features a long-haired cat whose face is stitched in classic Mardi Gras colors. This one is not for beginners, as it packs 20 colors and two blends into 101 by 90 stitches. It uses regular floss and metallic floss for an extra bit of sparkle, and includes back stitched whiskers and other details. But it’s definitely a show-stopper of a project for the person who loves cats and letting the good times roll.
