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.

12 Christmas Santas To Cross Stitch

I started writing this one as a designer spotlight kind of post, and then I realized when I was almost done with it that I had actually featured this designer before. It was in late 2024, so I’ll forgive myself for forgetting, but it’s worth taking another look at Mama Witch Cross Stitch. It looks like the shop has changed a bit since the last time I looked in, and you all just needed to see this amazing pattern anyway.

In the listing this one is called “whimsical opossum,” because of course it is. This little creature is sporting a straw hat and playing a banjo next to a crock of moonshine and surrounded by a wreath of pumpkins, mushrooms and other fall icons. Clicking through the images, though, I see it’s also called Possum Song, which is also pretty great.

Either way, the design is 144 by 130 stitches, which comes out to 10.29 by 9.29 inches, or about 26 by 23.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

This is not the only possum pattern offered by this shop, but you get the vibe from this one.

And to quickly check in on the rest of the shop, there are a great number of Halloween themed cross stitch patterns here, too, many with a sort of dark whimsy like mermaid skeletons, cat witches and a pumpkin-headed rider on a skeleton unicorn, to name just a few.

Another category worth noting, though it is much smaller, is “sad Victorian ghosts,” which features ghosts (sometimes in Victorian garb, sometimes not) going to the pub and the library, hanging laundry and taking a bath.

There are also a lot of Christmas designs, some sweet and some snarky, and a few creepy ones, too. Other categories include the new for 2026 “sunny patterns” (similar style motifs just with brighter colors and lighter backgrounds), as well as bookmarks and mini cross stitch designs.
