Free Dog Cross Stitch Charts

by

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.

Comments

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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!

  5. 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?

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

How to Add Text to a Cross Stitch Project

One of the easiest ways to make a cross stitch project more personal is to add text to it. Whether you’re adding the names of people getting married to a generic floral cross stitch design, birth information to a project on theme with the new baby’s room or just adding a word or phrase that’s meaningful to you, adding words to cross stitch projects make them that much more special. 

But if you’re not working with a project that already has text built in, or you want to change the text that’s there, that can feel a little daunting. 

Caterpillar Cross Stitch has a great guide to adding names and words (as well as numbers) to projects, which talks you through what to consider and how to actually go about adding text to a cross stitch project successfully. 

You’ll need to think about what kind of font you want to use and if you’re using back stitched letters or larger filled letters, how much space you need and how the letters work together in the text you’re planning to make sure it’s readable. 

Their post includes common pitfalls such as running out a space or ending up with text that’s off center and how to avoid them (spoiler: chart out your text before you stitch!). 

The whole post is really helpful if you’ve never added lettering to a project before and don’t know where to start. I like to use block letters in back stitch when learning how to add text to cross stitch, but of course there are tons of lettering options. Check out this collection of cross stitch fonts if you want to see some different things you can try. 

And head over to Caterpillar Cross Stitch to get more tips for how to successfully add lettering to your cross stitch projects. They also have their own alphabet and number charts you can buy to add text to your stitching. 

Have you ever added text to a cross stitch project? I’d love to hear how it went!
