Fall Leaf Cross Stitch Patterns

August 7, 2024 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

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!

Designer Spotlight: Cross Stitch Foxy

Cross Stitch Foxy has a huge selection of cross stitch patterns perfect for gifts or using in your own home decor. As of this writing there are more than 900 patterns listed, so there’s no way I can cover them all, but let’s take a quick peek at some of the options.

As with many cross stitch designers, Cross Stitch Foxy has a lot of holiday themed patterns, including Christmas, Halloween and Easter and St. Patrick’s Day. There are patriotic American patterns, feminist patterns and so much more.

Since we’re heading into the Christmas season as I write this, I thought I’d highlight one of the more than 100 Christmas listings in the shop. These Christmas mugs would be cute to have hanging in your kitchen or anywhere else all winter long.

The full pattern is 86 by 101 stitches, which comes out to 6.1 by 7.2 inches, or 5.5 by 18 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors. Of course you could also stitch a single mug if you’d rather, or put them into individual frames.

One thing that is fun about Cross Stitch Foxy’s projects is that the intention is that to some extent you can use what you have to make the projects. None of the projects include single stitches of a color, and colors can be replaced with the colors you have or use blends made up of colors you already have, making the projects more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Of course for holiday patterns you’ll want some holiday colors, but there’s wiggle room to use the threads you already own, which is nice.

In addition to the categories I already mentioned, there are many other patterns, including a wide selection of seasonal gnomes, patterns with cats and dogs, food and drink patterns and a nice collection of flowers and plants, just to name a few. There’s probably something for everyone in this store, so go check it out at Cross Stitch Foxy on Etsy.
