Dr. Seuss Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Rosh Hashanah Cross Stitch Patterns

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year celebration, and it’s a time full of special symbols and meaningful happenings that are perfect for stitching. Anything with a bee or honeycomb, apple, pomegranate or challah on it would be a great choice for stitching this time of year. 

Or how about a towel to cover your challah that includes all those other symbols? This pattern from Sew Perfectly Designed has bees, honeycomb, an apple and a pomegranate, as well as stars of David. (This is really a hand towel but you could also stitch the design on a tea towel to use on the table.) The original design includes some partial stitches but the designer says you can make them all full stitches and backstitch to get the proper effect on the lettering if you’d rather. It uses 15 colors and measures 178 by 24 stitches and is good for intermediate stitchers. 

Speaking a challah covers, there’s also this design from Sew Marie Studio, worked in a single color. The pattern is 197 by 301 stitches, which comes out to 14 by 21.5 inches, or 35.7 by 55 cm, on 14 count fabric (sizes for other counts are given as well if you don’t need a cover that big). The designer recommends adding a fabric border as shown and includes instructions for how to do that. 

This kit to make an apple and honey coaster would be a great project to make for the holiday. It comes from Siman Kriaa and the kit includes perforated paperboard for stitching, thread, a needle, the chart and instructions in English and Hebrew. 

And because I love a good(?) pun, I couldn’t resist sharing this Shofar Sho Good pattern from The Kosher Stitcher. (The shofar is the ram’s horn that is blown through at Rosh Hashanah.) The deisgn uses five colors and measures 60 by 37 stitches, which comes out to 4.3 by 2.6 inches, or 10.9 by 6.7 cm on 14 count fabric.
