Cute Father’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Halloween Sampler Cross Stitch Patterns

Stitch up something a little different for your Halloween decor with these Halloween sampler cross stitch patterns. From the traditional to the slightly offbeat, I think there’s something for almost everyone here. 

This cute little sampler from Juko Patterns includes a haunted house, black cats, spiders, bats and pumpkins, a skeleton, crow and ghost among other delights. The design is 142 by 150 stitches and uses 7 colors. On 14 count fabric the design comes out to 10.1 by 10.7 inches or 25.8 by 27.2 cm. 

ONESEO has a cute vintage style Halloween sampler with cats, pumpkins, ghosts, a witch, spider web, potion bottles and other cute designs. This would be a fun one to stitch as is or to pull out little details to use in different projects. Or both! As shown the design is 200 by 200 stitches and uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 14.3 inches square or 36.3 cm. 

Another cute Halloween design is this October sampler from Sosae Caetano. This sweet design full of pumpkins, candy corn, ghosts and witch hats looks easy to stitch and comes out to 4.75 by 8 inches (that’s about 12 by 20 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes don’t say but it looks like it uses 7 colors. 

This All Hallows Eve samplers form Autumn Andrea features an alphabet, a black cat, a few crows and pumpkins, and other elements like a cauldron, skeleton and owl. This one is a gigantic 437 by 352 stitches, which comes out to 31.21 by 25.14 inches, or 79.27 by 63.85 cm on 14 count fabric. It calls for 28 colors. If that all sounds like too much you could always just stitch a portion such as the cat or one of the crows to add to your Halloween display. 

On the traditional but still kind of silly side of the spectrum, there’s this Plum Street Samplers design called Grim Gourds, featuring some grumpy looking pumpkins, a black bird and an alphabet. This one is a printed pattern sold by Hollis Hands Create, and the pattern measures 97 by 90 stitches and uses five colors. 

The Colours of Halloween design from Stitchrovia never fails to make me smile and want to look closer. It features squares of different colors and patterns and their Halloween meaning, from a full moon to a magic potion, candy corn and slime. Such a fun idea! It measures 119 by 180 stitches, and uses 24 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.4 by 12. 9 inches, or 21.4 by 32.8 cm.
