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.

Designer Spotlight: Siren Stitchworks

Siren Stitchworks has cross stitch patterns that feel like old samplers (and some of them are in fact historical reproductions) even when they are modern designs. They have patriotic patterns, biscornus, pop culture patterns and more so let’s take a look. 

One of the projects that caught my eye was the Mexican menagerie, a set of five Mexican folk art inspired creatures. There’s a bird, horses, dragons, alligators and cats on these designs, which you can make into tiny pillow or ornaments.

The pattern notes don’t say how many colors are used but it doesn’t look like any of them have more than five colors. It does note the smallest pattern is 59 by 59 stitches, and the largest is 82 by 68 stitches. They also only use full cross stitches. 

The category with the largest number of entries (which is still only 12 as of this writing; this is a small shop) is called ornaments and smalls. It includes this menagerie and another Mexican animal collection, as well as traditional looking patterns with a twist, such as a little pattern with Yule goats, a needlebook cover that looks like a tombstone and alphabet samplers that include Greek, Latin and Hebrew. 

There are also a bunch of samplers, divided into monochrome, traditional and reproduction samplers. There are some fun ones in the monochrome department, including a Titanic sampler and an aloha design with a pineapple motif. Traditional samplers include some patriotic designs (and a gorgeous folk art resist fist), as well as a really fat cat. 

And the reproduction samplers include fun fonts, florals and birds like you’d expect from old sampler designs. 

In addition you’ll find a few pop culture designs (mostly Game of Thrones inspired samplers for different houses), biscornus include a couple Chinese zodiac designs, and a few needle minders for sale. 

Check out all the fun designs at Siren Stitchworks on Etsy.
