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.

If you’re looking for a ton of easy cross stitch designs to use for Christmas projects, look no further than Claire Crompton’s The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection, which includes more than 500 charts for tiny stockings, angels, ornaments and much more.

The book covers the materials you’ll use to create the projects, how to add beads and other embellishments, stitching techniques and instructions for finishing projects shown in the book.

You’ll find ideas for using the patterns such as making greeting cards, ornaments, wall hangings, napkin rings and patches, as well as ideas for adding stitching to ready made or semi-homemade gifts. There are also tips for framing and hanging projects, making an advent calendar and designing your own Christmas sampler.

The charts are arranged by theme like Christmas classics (bells, horns and candles), garlands including stockings and mittens, Christmas carols, advent motifs with numbers to make your own calendar, St. Nicholas, nativity projects, snowmen, Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes and snow themed projects, Shaker-style Christmas designs, Santa’s helpers and reindeer, tree decorations, snowy scenes, robins and other birds, angels, Christmas trees, penguins, baby’s first Christmas, Victorian-inspired designs, sweets and treats, Christmas flowers, child themed patterns, stitches for gift tags, fairies, bears both teddy and otherwise, 12 days of Christmas patterns, projects to work on linens for the table, sentiments for cards or other projects, and several sets of alphabets and numbers you can use to design your own projects.

There’s a really cute parcel alphabet that has the letters on presents and there are also elves and a Santa worked in, which would be cute for a project for a child or to make a sign for your house.

Patterns are shown several to a page with one key for all of the projects. The projects don’t say how big they are so you’ll have to count stitches on the chart and figure out how big they will be based on the fabric you are using.

Still, this is a nice, large collection of holiday themed cross stitch designs, which is great for people who like stitching projects big and small for Christmas.
