Cross Stitch Patterns for Ramadan

Ramadan is a time of fasting, prayer and religious reflection, and adding some Ramadan cross stitch to the mix is sure to help you reflect on the season. Check out these Ramadan cross stitch patterns to stitch before or during the month.

Lanterns are a common symbol of Ramadan (probably because the fast is broken at night, so you need some festive light), and lanterns decorate this Ramadan cross stitch pattern from Dizzy Digital Craft Co. The pattern is 173 by 173 stitches, which comes out to 12.36 inches of 31.39 cm square on 14 count fabric. It uses seven colors.

Or you can just stitch some really colorful, dramatic lanterns for Ramadan that you can use to decorate the house all year. This design from Sawanita uses 25 colors to make the lanterns look like they are glowing. If you want to stitch it on 14 count fabric it will come out toe about 15 by 19.46 inches, or 38.1 by 49.9 cm, as the stitch count is 286 by 201. I love the blue fabric used in the sample but you could also use white or cream.

This crescent moon and star design from Tatreez HubRana gives Ramadan cross stitch a folk are twist, with the design being made out of motifs inspired by the classic Moon of Bethlehem design. It’s perfect to stitch up and hang in a 12-inch hoop, as the design is about 10.7 inches (21.2 cm) tall.

This set of Ramadan cards to cross stitch from World of Cross Stitching includes some for Ramadan and some for Eid (which is the end of Ramadan). Designed by Perry Abdel-Hadi, there are six charts in all and they are all 80 by 80 stitches. That’s 5.75 inches or 14.5 cm square.

Or you can stitch up a Ramadan bookmark to remind you of the season while you read. This design is from Povitrulya Handmade and includes lanterns and a moon as well as the words Ramadan Mubarak. The pattern uses eight colors and measures 30 by 99 stitches. It’s meant to be worked on 16 count fabric for a finished measurement of 5.1 by 7.9 inches, or 13 by 20 cm.

Embrovia is a cross stitch designer with a lot of funny designs, plenty of ghosts and cats and other fun things for you to stitch. Let’s take a closer look.

I love the story of this shop, which I hope is true and not made up by AI, that it’s run by a husband who made cross stitch designs for his wife and then opened a shop. We’re just going to believe it’s true, OK?

The biggest category on their storefont is called “funny,” and that makes sense because there are a lot of funny designs here. From a duck with a knife to a dog on a toilet, there are lots of options here to stitch for that person on your list with a slightly off sense of humor.

When I saw this caution: floor is lava design I knew that was the one I needed to share with you all. It uses six colors and measures 130 by 135 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 9.3 by 9.6 inches, or 23.7 by 24.6 cm. It only uses full cross stitches.

Another big section is the one devoted to cats. This includes some more realistic looking cats, cat ghosts and superheroes, cats in coffee cups (or with coffee cups) and cats at computers. Other animals also feature in their designs, including bunnies, dogs, birds, capybaras, butterflies and more.

There’s a pretty collection of floral patterns, and a nice set of patterns designed to be stitched on dark canvas (mostly black or red). Rounding out the offerings are designs focused on gaming, mountains, abstract/modern designs, patterns and mandalas and designs for the nursery.

Check out all their fun designs at Embrovia on Etsy.
