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.

Artmishka Cross Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Italy with lots of whimsical and colorful designs and an emphasis on animals, flowers and landscapes. Let’s take a closer look!

The animal section is by far the largest, and it includes everything from realistic birds to cartoony cats, a set of little chick ornaments for Easter and a blackwork butterfly, to name a few. There are little animals in clothes and scarves, and this sweet folk art style owl in modern colors.

This one (and lots of them, really, I think) was designed as nursery decor, and it calls for 10 colors, which you can of course change up to suit your decor, nursery or otherwise. The design is 95 by 95 stitches, which comes out to about 7 inches or 18 cm square on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave stitched over two strands.

Another large category is flowers, which includes birth month flower designs, flowers that look hand drawn and colored, floral wreaths with teapots and wedding floral cross stitch designs.

The sampler section includes a variety of small patterns, images with words, colorful geometric and floral designs, and a few holiday patterns. Christmas designs include stamps, Christmas trees, stocking, snowmen and a cute box of snowflake shaped Christmas cookies in a box with a mug of hot chocolate, to name a few designs.

There are also a fair number of designs in both the landscape and cottage categories. These include iconic landmarks and colorful sunsets, and buildings from beach houses to a mushroom cottage, book shop and a cottage with flowers bursting out of the roof. There’s also a section called girl, which has designs of a little girl in different outfits and situations and some other characters.

Other categories on the site with smaller numbers of patterns include boy designs, princesses, plants, hobby themed designs (sewing, knitting, baking), art and bookmarks. There are also a handful of cross stitch kits, all of the little girl character.
