Lucky Crossstitching has cute and relatively easy looking patterns that focus on holidays and natural inspirations like animals, flowers and insects. Let’s take a closer look at this Etsy shop!
As of this writing they have more than 120 patterns to choose from, in narrowly tailored categories so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. Appropriately for the time of year I’m writing this, the biggest category in the shop is Christmas, followed by flowers.
The floral patterns have an old fashioned feel, which isn’t a criticism. There are lots of pastels and mandala type patterns, like this design featuring violets.
The design is 63 by 63 stitches and uses 7 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 4.5 inches square, or 11.43 cm. The pattern includes full cross stitches and back stitch, bu tit doesn’t look like there’s a lot of back stitching and it’s purely decorative (as opposed to outlining a design) in the center motif.
In addition to these categories, they also have designs for other holidays including Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and Valentine’s Day, as well as patterns for each of the seasons. There’s also a section called Wheel of the Moon that includes designs for pagan holidays like Samhain, Ostara and Beltane.
On the nature side of things, there are patterns for insects, mushrooms, birds and animals more generally, as well as couple of garden inspired designs. The fairy tale section includes a fairy house and a gnome gardener. There’s also a sweet set of houses and cottages surrounded by flowers in traditional sampler style.
