Free Winnie the Pooh Cross-Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Have you read?

Go Back to Basics with Common Cross Stitch Terms

It’s back to school time where I live, which I always feel like is a great time to learn a new skill or take a deeper dive into something that you might not have learned a lot about before. 

Usually when we are learning new hobbies we only know what we know. We learn the terms that we encounter, the skills that come up in the projects that we want to make. It’s not that we don’t care about other basics or different approaches, we just learn what we need to know to make what we want to make. 

And that’s totally fine, but sometimes it’s a good idea to go back and review the basics or learn the things you might have missed the first time. 

In that spirit I share this post from Caterpillar Cross Stitch all about basic cross stitch terms that every stitcher ought to know. 

Did you know that the little bundle of thread you use for cross stitch is called a skein, for example? Or the difference between grid size and design area in a pattern? Or that working complete stitches one at a time is known as the English method? (I didn’t know that one! Apparently doing half of the stitch across the row and then coming back and finishing it is the Danish method. Who knew?)

There’s also a little bit about getting started with confidence that might be helpful at any skill level. 

So what I’m saying is, even if you feel like you know a lot about cross stitch already, head over to Caterpillar Cross Stitch and check out their list of terms and make sure you know them all. If nothing else you’ll feel a little smarter, either because you already knew them all or you learned something new!

And if you do learn something new, I’d love to hear about it.
