Dr. Seuss Cross Stitch Patterns

Dr. Seuss’ birthday is celebrated each year on March 2, and to honor his legacy of encouraging reading and silliness I thought I would share some Dr. Seuss cross stitch patterns.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any free ones, but throwing a few coins to a designer every now and then is good for your karma, right?

This ABC pattern from Cuddle Up Cross Stitch is labeled as being a crochet pattern but it could be used as a cross stitch chart as well. This is the cover the ABC book, and the pattern runs $6.25.

RainbowStitchCross on etsy has (as of this writing) a buy one get one free offer on her Dr. Seuss patterns. There are lots of cute ones with different quotes and little illustrations.

Stitchline, also on etay, has a sweet world map with “Oh the places you’ll go” stitched on it. That one runs $4.95. And NataliNeedlework has a set of four designs featuring Dr. Seuss quotes for $12.

CloudFactory has a super cute Seuss pattern with the Cat, the Grinch and Thing 1 and Thing 2. It costs $4.50.

So much cuteness! Do you have any Seuss decor? It’s a great theme for a little one’s bedroom or playroom.

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
