Cute Father’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

As a crafter I tend to pay more attention to Mother’s Day than I do to Father’s Day, but fathers deserve love and stitched tokens of appreciation, too, so let’s take a look at some cute Father’s Day cross stitch patterns.

These nautical themed Father’s Day cross stitch patterns from Stitchrovia are nice, and pretty easy to stitch, too. Each one is 55 by 55 stitches, which comes out close to 4 inches/10 cm on 14 count fabric. Put yours in a hoop as shown or mount it on a card.

This colorful Happy Father’s Day design from Stitchissimo is really cute, and another one that could be framed or used as a card. At 60 by 60 stitches, it comes out to 5 inches or 12.7 cm square on 12 count fabric, or 4.3 inches/10.9 cm on 14 count. It uses five colors.

Remind your dad he’s number one with this easy cross stitch pattern from Bella Rose Craft. Using two colors, it easily fits in a four inch hoop when worked on 14 count fabric.

And if the dad in your life sports glasses, a beard and flannels, you can stitch up this Best Dad Ever project from Cross Stitch Lukovka. This one uses 14 colors and comes in at 62 by 78 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 4.33 by 5.51 inches, or 11.25 by 14.15 cm.

Of course we have to have some funny projects, like “Nacho average dad,” featuring father and child chips, from Stomp Creations. This one is meant to fit on a greeting card and measures 2.93 by 2.36 inches, or 7.4 by 6 cm, on 14 count fabric. That’s 41 by 33 stitches, and it looks like four colors.

Or you can remind dad that you’re his favorite with this sweet but salty design from Snarky Stitch Bitch. It uses nine colors and comes out about 9.4 inches/23.8 cm on 14 count fabric, with a stitch count of 131 by 131 stitches.

And if that’s not snarky enough for you, try this special award for dad from HH Stitchery and Supply. At 126 by 98 stitches, it comes out to 9 by 7 inches (22.9 by 17.8 cm) on 14 count fabric, uses eight colors and is suitable for framing and displaying in any place of honor in your home. Including the bathroom.

The movie Project Hail Mary came at the perfect time for us to continue our space joy after the Artemis mission, so let’s keep the fun going with some Project Hail Mary themed cross stitch projects.

Of course a lot of these projects feature the words “amaze amaze amaze,” like this one from Sew High School, which just features the words worked in a range of planetary colors. The design is 105 by 72 stitches, and uses a whopping 60 colors, but you could always use fewer if you like. Having each word in a single color or using variegated thread would be nice, too. On 14 count fabric this one measures 7.5 by 5.14 inches, or 19 by 13 cm.

Or stitch Rocky along with the iconic phrase with this design from John Gudmann Art. The pattern listing is low on details such as size or number of colors used, but it’s such a cute one I wanted to share it anyway.

There’s also this one from Milo Can Stitch, which is 89 by 91 stitches, so just about 6.5 inches/16.5 cm square. It uses 17 colors and looks like Rocky is doing a little dance, which is fun.

Another classic line from the book and the movie is “You sleep, I watch,” which feels kind of perfect for a baby’s room. This design from Carefree Cat Shop uses 11 colors and measures 49 by 37 stitches. That’s 2.8 by 3.7 inches, or about 7 by 9 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Soft Muse Studio Store reminds us you sometimes just need someone to be brave for with this design featuring Rocky and Grace. At 215 by 215 stitches, the finished project uses 13 colors and measures 15.4 inches, or 39 cm on 14 count fabric, which will fit in a 10-inch hoop. Other fabric counts are included if you want to make it smaller. (This designer has several cute Project Hail Mary cross stitch patterns so be sure to check them all out.)

I also love this colorful spacewalk design from Mercury Stitches. It is 50 by 70 stitches, which comes out to 3.6 by 5 inches (9.1 by 12.7 cm) on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and is all full cross stitches, as well as some backstitching.
