Easter Egg Cross Stitch Patterns

It can be hard covering the same holidays in the same crafts from year to year because I feel like I’ve already written about everything that’s out there. When I wrote about religious Easter patterns the other day I didn’t realized I’d done the same kind of post last year.

Easter bunnies? Check. Chicks? Done. I’ve even done Easter word art patterns and mini Easter cross stitch patterns.

And I’m sure I’ve written about Easter egg cross stitch patterns before, but it doesn’t look like I’ve done a roundup before, so that’s what we’re going to do today.

This first one might not actually count as an Easter egg, but I will share a Satsuma Street pattern every time I see one, and this one is egg shaped, so we’re calling it good. This folk art egg shaped spring design features bunnies, birds and butterflies, not to mention flowers and hearts. It comes out to 105 by 135 stitches, which is 7.5 by 9.5 inches (19 by 22.8 cm) on 14 count fabric. It uses 16 colors.

And since I shared Lagodargentoshop the other day, they have a cute pattern of mini geometric Easter eggs you can stitch up in a single color, or make each egg a different color. I love the set of pastel hoops shown in the photo! These fit in 6-inch hoops.

This egg from Mamaida Pattern is decorated with gentle swirls, and it’s worked in a single color so it’s pretty easy even for a newer stitcher. It measures 77 by 99 stitches, which comes out to 14 by 18 centimeters or 5.5 by 7.1 inches on 14 count fabric. Or try one with more of a geometric, almost quilt-like pattern like this one form Qaryns Creations. They actually have several egg patterns like this with different patterns inside you can choose from.

I feel like I’ve probably shared these free patterns before, but they’re so cute it’s worth doing again. Craft with Cartwright has a simple Easter egg with different easy bands of pattern on it, which you can stitch up in your favorite pastels or other colors. And these little egg-shaped bunnies from Stitching Space would be so cute as cupcake toppers or made into bookmarks or used in lots of other cute ways.

Cross Stitch Foxy has a huge selection of cross stitch patterns perfect for gifts or using in your own home decor. As of this writing there are more than 900 patterns listed, so there’s no way I can cover them all, but let’s take a quick peek at some of the options.

As with many cross stitch designers, Cross Stitch Foxy has a lot of holiday themed patterns, including Christmas, Halloween and Easter and St. Patrick’s Day. There are patriotic American patterns, feminist patterns and so much more.

Since we’re heading into the Christmas season as I write this, I thought I’d highlight one of the more than 100 Christmas listings in the shop. These Christmas mugs would be cute to have hanging in your kitchen or anywhere else all winter long.

The full pattern is 86 by 101 stitches, which comes out to 6.1 by 7.2 inches, or 5.5 by 18 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors. Of course you could also stitch a single mug if you’d rather, or put them into individual frames.

One thing that is fun about Cross Stitch Foxy’s projects is that the intention is that to some extent you can use what you have to make the projects. None of the projects include single stitches of a color, and colors can be replaced with the colors you have or use blends made up of colors you already have, making the projects more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Of course for holiday patterns you’ll want some holiday colors, but there’s wiggle room to use the threads you already own, which is nice.

In addition to the categories I already mentioned, there are many other patterns, including a wide selection of seasonal gnomes, patterns with cats and dogs, food and drink patterns and a nice collection of flowers and plants, just to name a few. There’s probably something for everyone in this store, so go check it out at Cross Stitch Foxy on Etsy.
