Free Winnie the Pooh Cross-Stitch Patterns

by 2 Comments

Jan. 18 is Winnie the Pooh Day (because it is creator A.A. Milne’s birthday) so it’s the perfect time to stitch up a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch pattern.

I did a little hunting online and here are a few free patterns I found:

Gvello Stitch has a lot of different Winnie the Pooh cross stitch charts, including Pooh by himself or with Piglet, one of Piglet and Roo, one of Roo alone and one of Tigger (they’re mixed in with other cartoon charts on this page, but most are Winnie the Pooh related).

My Cross Stitch Patterns has a Winnie the Pooh cowboy and Pooh Bear hugging a heart among others (search the site for a full list).

Cross Stitching Biz has a cute design with Winnie the Pooh and some bees, while Lena Patterns has a few others, including this cute sleeping Pooh.

And there’s a super cute Pooh alphabet over at Cross Stitch Mania, but it’s not an actual chart so you’d have to chart it out yourself to use it. But it’s great for inspiration and probably worth the trouble to chart out a single letter or some initials for a special project.

Have you stitched any Winnie the Pooh cross stitch projects before? I know I did a few when I was a kid.

  1. Hi,

    I am going to make the winnie pooh cowboy but needing to know size of Aida cloth I need to purchase

  2. It says on the design that the size is 4.43 by 6.93 inches (I assume that’s on 14 count but it doesn’t say) so you would need it to be however much bigger than that you want if you’re going to frame it to a particular size.

Designer Spotlight: Design For Cross Stitch

If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.

I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.

There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.

The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.

You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.

If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.
