Fall Leaf Cross Stitch Patterns

It may not feel at all like fall as I write this, but that season is coming soon, and it’s time to start stitching if you want to decorate your house with the kind of fall leaves the don’t crumble. Check out these beautiful fall leaf cross stitch patterns to get ready for the best season of the year!

This watercolor heart leaf cross stitch pattern from Laser Arts Designs is one of my favorites. The colors are so pretty and because it’s so many individual leaves it will keep you entertained. All of their patterns have a maximum of 25 colors, but I’m not sure exactly how many there are in this one. It measures 188 by 173 stitches, which comes out to 34 by 31.4 cm or 13.4 by 12.4 inches on 14 count fabric.

Cover your canvas with acorns and leaves with this pretty fall-hued patter from Sam X Stitch. Fashioned after a William Morris design, it uses five colors and measures 109 by 109 stitches. This comes out to 7.78 inches or 19.78 cm on 14 count fabric.

Or take a scattering of leaves to a black piece of fabric (though you could do it on a light color, too) with this pattern of leaves, acorns and berries from Stitchin Madness. This one uses 18 colors and the canvas size is 179 by 173 stitches, which comes out to 12.8 by 12.3 inches or 32.5 by 31.4 cm if you work with 14 count fabric.

Wild Bluebell Patterns has another pretty collection of leaves stitched on dark fabric. This one is square instead of round, and measures 100 by 100 stitches (that’s 7.2 inches or 18.3 cm) and uses 14 colors.

And if you’d rather go tiny with your leaf decorations, check out this cross stitch pattern of leaves in a little bottle. It comes from 1000s Patterns, and measures 19 by 52 stitches. That’s 1.33 by 3.7 inches, or 3.4 by 9.4 cm, and it uses 14 colors and two blends. It also has full and half stitches, back stitch and French knots all in this tiny package!

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
