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.

Mini Easter Cross Stitch Patterns

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others.

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.

Check out all the great patterns they have to offer at Natalka Studio on Etsy.
