Easter Gnome Cross Stitch Patterns

March 25, 2025 by Sarah White

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.

How to Manage a Large Piece of Cross Stitch Fabric

I am known to be really paranoid when it comes to cutting cross stitch fabric for a project. I will math it out, count, recount, think about it, worry, decide it needs to be bigger than math plus my already large margin for error suggests. If I could just be confident in choosing the correct size of fabric I’d have a lot more stitching time!

Sometimes you have a lot of extra fabric beyond where you are stitching because your fabric is too big. Or maybe you’re just working on a big project that leaves excess fabric potentially in your way when you are stitching. 

Hannah Hand Makes has a post all about how to deal with excess fabric on the sides of a large cross stitch project (which is actually a podcast if you’d rather listen). She is talking more about huge stitchalong projects where you need a big piece of fabric than my particular problem of timid cutting, but the same advice applies. 

I am lazy and don’t want to buy new products, so I would probably devise some sort of rolling and clamping situation with items I already have in the house, but she has some great tips for actual products you can buy that will help with this situation such as large hoops, standing frames and scroll frames. One of these solutions would certainly be worth the investment if you’re doing a year long (or otherwise long term) stitchalong or really big project where that excess fabric is going to cause problems. 

Because beyond being annoying, odds are good I’m going to end up stitching right through that extra fabric and making a big mess. 

Check out all the tips for working with a really big piece of cross stitch fabric over at Hannah Hand Makes. 

What’s the biggest cross stitch project you’ve ever made? I’d love to hear all about it!
