Cross Stitch Patterns Inspired by the Beach

After talking about little summer cross stitch patterns the other day, I got to thinking about beach themed cross stitch projects. We have gone to the beach for vacation with our daughter most years, but this year we aren’t going so I’m missing both the beach and the beach house aesthetic.

Maybe this is the year I finally make something with all the seashells we’ve collected over the years, or at least stitch a coastal-themed cross stitch pattern. And if you’re in the southern part of the world longing for warmer weather, these patterns will remind you that beach weather is right around the corner again.

This graphic, retro on the beach cross stitch pattern from Stitchrovia is so cute and you can customize the umbrellas and towels to suit your decor if you don’t like the candy colors. The pattern is 116 by 179 stitches, which comes out to 8.3 by 12.8 inches when worked on 14 count fabric. You can get the pattern on Etsy.

Re-create sunset on the beach in stitching with this pretty heart-shaped project from Laser Arts Designs on Etsy. This one is 191 by 186 stitches, or 13.6 by 13.3 inches on 14 count fabric. It’s pretty detailed so this isn’t one for beginners, but it’s so lovely it will definitely be worth the effort.

Or check out this gorgeous sunset and crashing waves design from Etsy seller Zephyr Mood. It’s super realistic looking and uses 28 colors and blends (more on using blends here). It’s a circular design that comes out to 110 by 110 stitches (almost 8 inches on 14 count fabric).

Beach Waves is a pattern from Ugly Duckling House that looks like waves hitting the beach and is just so pretty. It uses 30 colors and 14 count fabric. It comes out to about 6 by 8 inches, and you can buy it through NeedleSpark.

Since I covered Ted Lasso cross stitch patterns the other day, it feels like it’s time to share some cross stitch inspired by another show that just wrapped its final season, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” This show gave us retro style and a bunch of sassy female characters to remember. And again the patterns get a little salty thanks to one of Midge’s catchphrases.

Stitch a bunch of little characters from the show, or just your favorites from this sampler from Pixel Power Designs. The full piece measures 92 by 103 stitches and uses 13 colors. It comes out to 6.57 by 8.79 inches when worked on 14 count fabric.

Snarky Crafter Designs has a great Midge quote done in cross stitch. It is 116 by 156 stitches and uses two colors, and it uses cross stitches and back stitch. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.25 by 11 1/8 inches, but you can use whatever count fabric you like. And don’t act sorry about it!

Say “Thank you and goodnight!” with this Mrs. Maisel cross stitch pattern from Not Nana’s Cross Stitch on Etsy. This one looks like it uses five colors, and the design is 55 by 48 stitches.

OK, now for the salty ones. Midge and Susie are known for saying “Tits up” before a show, so of course that phrase has made it into Marvelous Mrs. Maisel cross stitch patterns. Stitch just those words in a retro font with the pattern from Stitch and Poke Company. It looks like two colors are used and the designer notes that if you use 18 count fabric the design will fit in a six-inch hoop.

Or you can stitch a Midge along with her famous phrase with a design from Fushia Hoops. This one is 72 by 105 stitches and is just over 5 by 7.5 inches worked on 14 count fabric. Let these designs be a reminder to greet every day as your feisty, awesome self.
