Free Cross Stitch Patterns for Neko Atsume Cats

Do you know about the game Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector? It’s a strangely addictive app in which players seek to attract cats to their gardens with food, toys and furniture. The cats interact with the items in the garden and leave fish, which can be used to purchase other items.

There are nearly 60 different cats — some rarer than others — in the game, all of which look different and have different personalities.

Even if you don’t know about the game, if you are a cat lover you might want to check out the great collection of free cross stitch patterns for Neko Atsume cats at Oh Plesiosaur.

As I write she has patterns for 34 regular cats and one rare cat, and says she will update as new cats are released.

Each cat is available in multiple poses including sitting, standing, with legs tucked in, “cat loaf” and cat butt.

These are so great! I kind of want to find the one that looks most like my cat and stitch it up.

Do you play Neko Atsume? I’d love to hear about it!

If you love patterns for frogs and sardines, animals, food, flowers and more, Happy Cross Stitchers has got you covered. With more than 1,600 patterns as of this writing, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something that cross stitch patterns featuring sardines are showing up everywhere (this is the second designer I’ve seen with them in the past month or so) but Happy Cross Stitchers has 60 sardine cross stitch patterns. They also have 200 patterns with flowers, and even more than that in their biggest category, which is animals.

Many of the animal cross stitch patterns have a modern nursery feel to them, like this set of four modern boho animal patterns featuring what I’m interpreting as owls, a moose (or it coulr be a deer), a donkey and a cow. Each individual pattern is 100 by 100 stitches and they use six or seven colors. The designs will come out to 7.1 inches or 18.14 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a large number of Christmas cross stitch patterns, with lots of trees, little houses, Santas and word art. There are lots of bunnies, eggs and chicks in the Easter section.

The modern designs include lots of colorful, graphic florals. There are also well over 100 butterflies, many of which at least look like they could be inspired by real butterflies (though none of them are labeled as to what kind of butterfly they are).

You’ll also find plenty of cute and often funny cat and dog cross stitch patterns, though there are a lot more cats than dogs represented. And then there’s the food section, with patterns for fruits, different kinds of toast, a jar of pickles, doughnuts and more.

And that’s not even all there is in this store! I guess all this is a long way of saying there’s a lot of fun patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCrossStitchers on Etsy and you should go browse because you’ll probably find something you like. And if you do, I’d like to hear about it!
