Fall Gnome Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m not quite ready to dive into Halloween cross stitch patterns, though I know it will be time for that really soon! To start the transition to fall in the Northern Hemisphere, how about some fall themed gnome cross stitch patterns?

These funny characters are sure to bring a smile to your face as you stitch, and they’re great to use in home decor, too.

This autumn gnome from Favorite Gnome (they have lots of others, as you might imagine from the name) sports an adorable red stocking cap and a basket of pumpkins. It uses 30 colors and is 92 by 122 stitches.

If you’re a fan of pumpkin spice, you’ll want to stitch up this sweet gnome with a pint of its favorite beverage. This one is 76 by 87 stitches and uses 23 colors and blends. You can get it from Etsy seller MIYAStitch. (I also love their autumn gnomes collection.)

Creative Studio Elena has a set of six fall gnome cross stitch patterns, all with cute patterned hats and holding symbols of fall, from pumpkin pie to apples and acorns. The patterns vary in size and the number of colors used (ranging from 16 to 24) but they’re all really cute!

The gnomes from Piccola Parigi are classified as Thanksgiving gnomes, but I think they would be great to display throughout the fall. These three gnomes in one design are covered by leaves, sunflowers and gourds. The full design is 182 by 112 stitches and uses 23 colors, but you could also stitch each gnome individually if you like.

Cross Stitch Foxy’s fall gnome cross stitch patterns do get a little more into Thanksgiving territory, because here there is one holding a turkey, but there’s no reason you can’t get a jump on all the fall holidays at once. These three are in separate patterns and use between 12 and 17 colors.

The designs from Bella Rose Craft look like they would be good for beginner cross stitchers and others who like relatively simple and small designs that are quick to finish for gifts or decor.

I’ll mention up front that this Etsy shop based in Indiana has no organization whatsoever. There are two categories: kits and patterns. So it’s a bit of a treasure hunt to find what you might be interested in.

As mentioned there are lots of minis and small looking projects with simple lines and minimal colors. There are holiday projects, animals, summer motifs like palm trees and beach umbrellas, a bathtub with a rubber duck, some text based designs (like hoppy spring and merry and bright), some biblical and religious designs, flowers, bunting and more.

On a site like this its difficult to pick something representative of the whole page, but I liked this bees and beehive design, so it’s the one I picked to share. This one illustrates a lot of my general points about the patterns from this shop. It’s small (2.79 by 2.57 inches, or about 7 by 6.5 cm on 14 count fabric), it looks like it’s all whole cross stitches and probably uses only six colors, and a couple of colors are only used for a handful of stitches.

Of the 300 plus cross stitch patterns available as of this writing, 140 are also available as cross stitch kits. These would be great to give as gifts if you’re trying to get someone interested in cross stitching. The kits include the pattern, fabric and floss, and you can choose to have it include a needle or not. The hoop is not included but the patterns explain what kind of hoop is shown if you want to get one to match.

So if you’re looking for cute, beginner friendly patterns for yourself or you’re trying to be a crafty enabler for someone else, check out Bella Rose Craft on Etsy.
