Cross Stitch Birth Announcements

One of the most classic cross stitch gifts I can think of is to make a cross stitch birth announcement. These patterns that include the name, birthdate and sometimes other information about the new little one come in all sorts of designs to suit any kind of nursery decor.

Of course there are tons I could share but I picked these cross stitch birth announcements to give you an idea of the array of potential designs out there. You can always search from something more specific on Etsy or wherever you like to buy patterns if you’re looking for, say, florals or a jungle theme or whatever you want.

If you’re going super traditional, this Mother Goose birth announcement from Kooler Design Studio is really cute. It’s a sampler style with bits of nursery rhymes, stitched characters and space for the birth information. You can download the pattern from LoveCrafts.

This bunting announcement from Pinecone McGee on Etsy is super cute and simple to do. You can work the bunting flags in an array of colors, or choose colors specific to baby’s nursery. You could also add a little chain stitching or back stitching between the flags to make it look more like they are hanging.

If modern looking flowers are more your speed, you’ll love this pretty design from Happinest on Etsy. The colors are not pastel, but you can change them if you’d rather it read a little more “baby.”

Looking for something for a future nature lover? Vlada X Stitch has made this great design with tall pine trees and bears. It’s only four colors, so it’s pretty easy to stitch, too.

I love this colorful and super sweet welcome to the world birth announcement cross stitch pattern from Stitchrovia. It’s very colorful and most of the 120 by 120 stitch area is filled with stitching, but it’s well worth the effort for this cuteness.

If you’re celebrating the arrival of a rainbow baby, or just love the look of rainbows, this muted design from Hoop Modern Design on Etsy is a great option. As shown it uses five colors, and you can keep with the pastels or go with bolder options depending on your decor.

I love mini cross stitch patterns any time of the year, but they’re especially nice as we head toward the holidays and you might want to make some last-minute gifts. Mini Christmas cross stitch patterns are super cute as ornaments, or you can make them into bookmarks, little pins, add them to napkins, or whatever else you might like to add a bit of cross stitch to.

They’re also great because they’re usually sold as a set so you’re getting a bunch of patterns you can use together or separately all in one.

For example, Cross Stitch by Coconut has a collection of 100 mini holiday cross stitch patterns, which would be so cute stitched as a whole bunch in a sampler style, or as the border of another project, etc. Most of the individual designs are around 20 by 20 stitches and will take less than an hour to stitch up.

If 100 patterns sounds a little overwhelming, try Stitchonomy‘s mini collection, which has 30 tiny designs. I love the variety in this little collection, which has everything from Santa to a mug of hot chocolate, a Christmas pudding and a snow globe. The largest ones in this set are 31 by 31 stitches.

Purple Kitty Yarns has a collection from an old Coats & Clark leaflet designed by Barbara Swanson (and used by permission) that includes a couple of cute borders, ornaments, a wreath and other cute stuff.

These minis from Cross Stitch Inn Shop are meant to be ornaments, but you could use them for other little projects as well. It includes 16 patterns, all of which are smaller than 2 inches. The most complex ones use seven colors, but most only use two or three.

And these cute little projects from X Cross Stitch Pattern X on Etsy are all meant to fit in three-inch hoops. The largest size is around 35 by 35 stitches, and several of these are more winter than Christmas so you can use them as decor even after the season is over.
