Easter is all about the bunnies and eggs for a lot of people, but it is of course a religious holiday, so if you’re looking to stitch up a religious themed Easter cross stitch pattern, this collection is for you.
(Also this set of religious Easter cross stitch patterns from last year if you need more inspiration.)
This lovely Easter sunset cross stitch pattern from Fuzzy Fox Designs on Etsy is more accurately probably a Good Friday cross stitch pattern, but it’s suitable for the season anyway. It features people (and rabbits) observing the crosses and the verse John 3:16 stitched in backstitch. It’s a solid 76 by 76 stitches and meant for intermediate stitchers comfortable with dense stitching, half stitches and back stitch, though the Bible verse is optional. It uses 20 colors.
Craft Designs 4 You has a few free Christian cross stitch patterns, and if you scroll to the bottom you’ll find the He is Risen one. This simple design can be worked in two or three colors on a sky blue background (or any color you like).
Lily Mae Stitching on Etsy has another design with the three crosses and a sunrise or sunset. This one is 77 by 74 stitches and another full design, but it only uses 10 colors so it’s a little easier for people with less experience working dense cross stitch patterns like that.
This easy, elegant cross pattern includes the words “it is finished.” Designed by A New Creation Studio, it measures 63 by 63 stitches, so it comes out 4 inches or 10 centimeters square. It’s a pretty quick project that would be great for a card or to use as decoration in your home. It looks to me like it uses three colors, but you could always use more if you wanted. The designer suggests making the sun yellow and the vines in the background green instead of doing both in white, but you can use whatever colors you want to make it your own.
