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!

Whether you’re stitching up apples for back to school or just because you love fall, these apple cross stitch patterns look like lots of fun to stitch.

These teensy apples still bring a lot of detail even as each one is stitched a little smaller. LeSelva Design calls this set of three small + smaller + tiny, and they all use 10 colors. The biggest is 30 by 32 stitches, while the smallest is 15 by 16, and the one in the middle is 19 by 22.

Another cute little classic apple design is this one from Bella Rose Craft. It uses just three colors (you could also stitch the little white shine if you want) and measures 2.21 by 2.57 inches on 14 count fabric (which is 5.6 by 6.5 cm).

This pretty sampler from Wonder Stitch UA almost has a Christmas feel to it because those flowers look a little like poinsettias to me. You could stitch them in a different color if you feel the same way. As is the design uses 11 colors and measures 95 by 93 stitches. If worked on 14 count fabric your design will be about 6.8 by 6.6 inches, or 17.3 by 16.9 cm.

Stitch a kaleidoscopic apple design in red and green with this pattern from Daily Cross Stitch. This one calls for seven colors and is 79 by 79 stitches. On 14 count fabric that 5.64 inches, or 14.3 cm square.

These modern apples from Happy Cross Stitchers are a lot of fun, and you could stitch an individual apple in a little hoop frame for a cute teacher gift. The full design is 102 by 108 stitches and uses six colors, so each apple isn’t very large. If you stitch the whole project in one piece it will measure about 7.2 by 7.7 inches or 18.5 by 19.5 cm on 14 count.

Go realistic with this pretty ripe apple cross stitch pattern from 1000s Patterns. Designed by Lubov Vodenikova, this pattern uses 22 colors and five blends, and measure 57 by 46 stitches. It uses full stitches and back stitching, and comes out to 4.05 by 3.26 inches, or 10.3 by 8.3 cm on 14 count fabric.

Or go the opposite direction with this geometric apple from Velvet Pony Design. This one is done in greens but you could also make it red if you’d rather. Either way, it calls for 14 colors and is 80 by 79 stitches. That’s about 4.3 inches or 11.3 cm square on 18 count fabric, which is what is shown in the sample.
