Cross Stitch Patterns with Christmas Ornaments

I was trying to think of some different Christmas cross stitch pattern themes that I could share with you and I came up with wanting to do a post of patterns with ornaments on them that aren’t necessarily ornaments themselves.

This is a really hard term to search for, so I’m sure there is more than what I was able to find. But I love the idea of stitching up some ornaments if you don’t have space for a tree or want to send a little holiday cheer from afar. Let’s take a look at these cross stitch patterns featuring Christmas ornaments.

The bold baubles sampler from xCounting the Starsx is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. This set of 16 little ornaments would be cute propped up on a mantle or bookshelf, and of course you could stitch them individually and turn them into ornaments, too, if you wanted. The full design is 165 by 186 stitches and uses 30 colors.

If you want even more baubles that you can mix and match into your own sampler project, check out this collection from Mason Art Maison. It includes a whopping 140 cross stitch Christmas ornaments that you can combine or use on individual projects. I love the hand drawn and painted look of these. There are seven pages or ornaments, each of which is around 300 by 300 stitches, with the individual ornaments running around 70 by 70 stitches.

Looking for something smaller? This little branch with three ball ornaments from Wild Bluebell Patterns is super cute and just 59 by 43 stitches. It comes out to 4.2 by 3.1 inches (or 10.7 by 7.8 cm).

Or try this little bundle of three baubles from Ecliptica Design. They’re shown in individual frames but you could also line them up into one project. Each is 34 by 38 stitches, or 2.4 by 2.7 inches/6.2 by 6.9 cm. They use five colors and two blends each.

Snail Fishes Stitches also has a cute Christmas ornament cross stitch pattern with a variety of little ornaments. This one uses just three colors and is 63 by 64 stitches. It’s perfect for a 5 or 6 inch hoop if you stitch it on 14 count fabric.

15 Ugly Christmas Holiday Sweaters To Cross Stitch

Piccola Parigi is a Europe-based Etsy shop with a team of designers bringing you modern and fun cross stitch patterns for lots of occasions. With a heavy emphasis on wedding cross stitch, you’ll also find holiday patterns for Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day and more, plus lots of other seasonal stitches.

One thing that caught my eye in this shop is the large number of gnome cross stitch patterns, which is sure to delight anyone who likes gnomes as a decorating device throughout the year. These have an emphasis on holidays, too, including Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day and Mardi Gras.

The Thanksgiving ones shown here would be great to stitch and display throughout the fall. They shown gnomes in falling leaves with various fall things including fruit, a pumpkin, leaves and sunflowers. All of the projects are a little different but they use between 21 and 23 colors and range from 60 to 74 stitches wide and 101 to 110 stitches tall. They’d be super cute all in frames hung together, or just stitch up your favorite.

A lot of the wedding patterns involve floral wreaths, but you can also buy sets of floral wreath patterns that you can stitch as they are or add your own words to.

There’s also an adorable set of black cat cross stitch patterns, which I only bring up because I have a black cat and I love them.

And while it’s not quite seasonally appropriate as I write this, there’s a fun selection of Halloween cross stitch patterns, too, including more cats, super realistic haunted houses, less realistic but still cute haunted houses, some funny projects, and of course gnomes. Something for almost everyone!

Check out their shop at Piccola Parigi to find something fun to stitch. And be sure to let me know if you have a favorite cross stitch designer I haven’t shared yet so we can get them in front of everyone!
