Cross-Stitch

Charts, patterns and everything needlepoint

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?

Designer Spotlight: Inkspire Studio Shops

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools. 

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there. 

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few. 

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital. 

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well. 

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders. 

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions. 

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
