Free Dog Cross Stitch Charts

August 14, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

Needleworks Butterfly has assembled a collection of printable image files for embroidery and cross stitch for the above dogs. There are quite a few more different breeds on their website so if you don’t see your favourite puppy here don’t worry. Free Cross Stitch Dog Charts.

UPDATE – Unfortunately it has been brought to our attention that the website that features these patterns does not give credit to the source of what appears to be scanned pages. These patterns may be in breach of copyright. Here is the link to purchase the patterns from their original source.Picture your Pet in Cross Stitch.

After getting our own dog, a Labradoodle, he soon became the subject of all my crafts. Finding a Labradoodle pattern for cross stitch or even SVG files, wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. In fact, looks like I am not the only one who likes to use dogs as the main subject of their crafts. I have even purchased some Labradoodle laser tags too. My mother has just bought a Cockalier so that is another dog theme I can craft too.  She is part Spaniel and part Cavalier kings Charles.  Originally my mother had a westie or a west highland terrier, but unfortunately, she passed over to the rainbow side.

Looking for more dog-themed cross stitch patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

    These look like scans from the book ‘Picture Your Pet in Cross Stitch” by Claire Crompton. Are you sure these are legal to show?

    The blogger who shared these patterns is breaking copyright law by doing so. These are obviously scans from a book! I would think you’d be better at upholding the law so that we don’t undermine our designers.

    Hello! Someone from one of my cross stitch groups commented that these might be from a magazine somewhere. Could you check on this for us? Thanks and blessings, Donna

    I’m surprised you’d feature a blog post that is just a collection of scanned pages. I see no information stating the blog owner is the copyright holder for these charts, which means this is just one big copyright violation. Please don’t encourage people to do this by giving them publicity and praise when they do!

    There are pages free on Amazon, to all the idiots here crying about piracy. Also books are free at the library. What on earth is wrong with scanning and preserving them?

    Where can I buy this book from?

    It should be available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Picture-your-Pet-Cross-Stitch/dp/1446300021

    As long as the blogger is not selling the patterns, it is legal to give a copy away.

    That’s not true if the patterns are for sale elsewhere. Copyright infringement is a serious issue.

    Thanks a lot, all you negative Nancies for crying about copyright infringement

Cross Stitch Creatures from the Sea

Last fall I came across this cross stitch pattern for a sea turtle and I talked myself out of sharing it right away because tropical animals don’t feel like a “fall” thing, but now that it’s summer again, let’s take a look at some cross stitch patterns for creatures that live in or around the sea. 

This sea turtle design from Witch Wolf Web Creations is literally just a chart with no grid to help you count stitches or suggested colors, but I would print it out and add a grid to make it easier to stitch. You can work it in many colors as shown, or there’s also a black and white version so you could just do it in a single color. 

Stitch up some fish or a seahorse with this bundle of four tropical fish cross stitch patterns from LaSelva Design. It includes a clownfish, seahorse, moorish idol and blue tang, all of which vary in size and colors used, but they’re all really cute. 

Or you can stitch a tank’s worth of tropical fish with this project from SamXstitch. There are 22 fish in all on this project, which measures 153 by 153 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm. It uses 15 colors. 

I also love the jewel-toned fishies on this project from Velvet Pony Design. This one has seven fish and a seahorse and measures 113 by 140 stitches. That’s just over 8 by 10 inches or 20.5 by 25.4 cm on 14 count fabric, though you can make it smaller with a higher fabric count. It calls for 24 colors. 

This vintage design from Past Pattern Palooza Co has a whole school of little fish. The design is 120 by 260 stitches and uses 30 colors. It measures 8.57 by 18.57 inches (21.7 by 47.2 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes say there are 69 designs in total, an individual fish range from 1.5 to 3 inches, or 4.5 to 8 cm. 

You can stitch up a whole tropical world complete with coral using this design from Easy Stitching Outlet (though I don’t think this one is particularly easy). At 219 by 95 stitches, on 14 count fabric it will come out to 15.6 by 6.8 inches, or 39.73 by 17.24 cm.
