Easter Gnome Cross Stitch Patterns

In my never-ending quest to share holiday related patterns that I haven’t shared before, today I bring you a collection of Easter gnome cross stitch patterns. I don’t know why gnomes are so popular, but I will admit they are pretty cute, and they’re something a little different from all the bunnies and chicks and things we normally see this time of year.

Which is not to same that gnomes don’t like those Easter things. Here’s a gnome from New England ArtsnCraft with a springtime gnome holding a chick and surrounded by flowers and a couple of decorated eggs. Be aware that this one is a printed pattern that ships from Massachusetts; I don’t see a way to order a digital copy on their page. But it is super cute! This one is 91 by 80 stitches, of 5.1 by 4.4 inches/13 by 11 cm, when worked on 18 count fabric.

Or there’s this sweet gnome with a flower crown painting an Easter egg while a rabbit looks on. I love the kind of watercolor effect on this one, which is from Galart Design. It is 153 by 136 stitches and uses a whopping 72 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 11 by 9.8 inches or 28 by 25 cm. Sizes for other counts are also given if you want to make it smaller.

This Easter gnome from Favorite Gnome has bunny ears sticking out of his stocking cap. This one uses 20 colors and measures 91 by 115 stitches, which is 7 by 9 inches or 16.5 by 20.9 cm on 14 count fabric.

This set of six gnomes from 4StitchLV would be perfect to stitch up for the gnome lover in your life. The gnomes all have different looks but they all have Easter eggs as well, and you could probably mix and match the designs of the backgrounds and the eggs without too much trouble. These designs vary a little bit in size but they’re all around 5 inches/12.7 cm on 14 count fabric.

Want even more little options for your Easter gnome cross stitch designs? Try this set of 20 mini Easter gnomes from Teeny Weeny X Stitch. Each of these little cuties is less than 42 by 42 stitches, or smaller than 3.1 inches/7.8 cm on 14 count fabric. The whole set uses 22 colors.

That headline pretty much describes the Under the Sea cross stitch pattern from Una Buena Pieza, which is covered with shells, fish and other creatures of the sea. It’s not intended to be an I spy, I don’t think, and most of the same kinds of animals are grouped together, but I think it would be fun for someone who didn’t stitch it to look and see what different things they can find within.

The pattern includes turtles, jellyfish, a whale, shark, ray, all sorts of fish and shells and I’m sure other things that I’m not noticing right now. Dolphins! Coral! Seagulls!

It looks like it would be super fun to stitch and fun to have on the wall during the summer months, or even hang in a kid’s room if you know a young one who loves the beach or ocean animals.

The design is 110 by 220 stitches. It comes out to about 8 by 16 inches, or 20 by 40 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors.

This design looks great on light blue fabric as shown, but in the pattern listing on Etsy you’ll also see what it looks like on a darker blue and a white fabric, and they all look pretty good so you can use whatever color you like to suit your decor or your idea of what color the “ocean” should be. There’s even a customer photo that looks like it was done on a sort of tie-dyed green fabricc, which is really fun.

However you stitch it, I think this project would go faster than you imagine because there are so many fun little things to stitch. It will be hard to get bored when you can just move on to a different animal or part of the design.
