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.

Book Review: The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection

If you’re looking for a ton of easy cross stitch designs to use for Christmas projects, look no further than Claire Crompton’s The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection, which includes more than 500 charts for tiny stockings, angels, ornaments and much more. 

The book covers the materials you’ll use to create the projects, how to add beads and other embellishments, stitching techniques and instructions for finishing projects shown in the book. 

You’ll find ideas for using the patterns such as making greeting cards, ornaments, wall hangings, napkin rings and patches, as well as ideas for adding stitching to ready made or semi-homemade gifts. There are also tips for framing and hanging projects, making an advent calendar and designing your own Christmas sampler. 

The charts are arranged by theme like Christmas classics (bells, horns and candles), garlands including stockings and mittens, Christmas carols, advent motifs with numbers to make your own calendar, St. Nicholas, nativity projects, snowmen, Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes and snow themed projects, Shaker-style Christmas designs, Santa’s helpers and reindeer, tree decorations, snowy scenes, robins and other birds, angels, Christmas trees, penguins, baby’s first Christmas, Victorian-inspired designs, sweets and treats, Christmas flowers, child themed patterns, stitches for gift tags, fairies, bears both teddy and otherwise, 12 days of Christmas patterns, projects to work on linens for the table, sentiments for cards or other projects, and several sets of alphabets and numbers you can use to design your own projects. 

There’s a really cute parcel alphabet that has the letters on presents and there are also elves and a Santa worked in, which would be cute for a project for a child or to make a sign for your house. 

Patterns are shown several to a page with one key for all of the projects. The projects don’t say how big they are so you’ll have to count stitches on the chart and figure out how big they will be based on the fabric you are using. 

Still, this is a nice, large collection of holiday themed cross stitch designs, which is great for people who like stitching projects big and small for Christmas. 

About the book: 112 pages, paperback, published 2026 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
