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.

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it.

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe).

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm.

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space).

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year.

If cute and dark is your aesthetic, you’ll want to check out all the patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HauntedFrames, which you can find on Etsy.
