Funny Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

May 6, 2024 by Sarah White

Last month I shared a bunch of cat cross stitch patterns, so it seemed only fair that I add some dog cross stitch projects to the mix. I’d actually been saving up this punny hot dog  pattern for a while, so it was the perfect starting point for a collection of funny dog cross stitch patterns.

This one is from My Darling Plum, and it features a dachshund crossed with a hot dog. It calls for six colors and uses whole and half stitches, as well as back stitching and French knots. On 14 count fabric it measures 3.5 by 2.4 inches, or 8.89 by 6 cm, but the pattern includes sizing for different stitch counts if you want to make it smaller and turn it into an ornament or card.

Snoopy has the right idea in this simple cross stitch pattern from Mamaida Pattern that just says Nope. It uses three colors and would be a good one for a new stitcher. It measures 64 by 37 stitches, which is 4.6 by 2.6 inches or 11.6 by 6.7 cm on 14 count fabric (this one also shows different counts if you want ti to be smaller).

This sweet dog face is sure to bring a smile to your face! This little Shiba Inu from Rainbow Hunt XStitch fully fills a three-inch hoop and measures 41 by 41 stitches. It uses 12 colors. The designer has a couple of other dog faces and quite a few cats as well, but this is a dog post so we won’t talk about that.

And of course funny dog cross stitch patterns don’t actually have to include dogs. Like this one from Cross Stitch Traveler that lets everyone know who is really in charge in your household (yes, it’s the dog). It uses seven colors, but you could easily change the colors on the leaves to suit your decor if you want. The piece measures 138 by 134 stitches, or 9.75 by 9.5 inches/25 by 24.3 cm on 14 count fabric.

Or you can remind people that going out with you will always take longer than they think if there are dogs around. This one is from Helen’s Crossing and is available as a pattern or a full kit. The kit uses 14 count fabric and an 8 inch hoop, and the design is 84 by 78 stitches.

Cross Stitch Some Funky Chickens

I’m primarily a knitter, and in the knitting world the “emotional support chicken” has been a big trend probably for a couple of years now (I don’t know how long something has to be popular before you can stop calling it a trend, but whatever).

There are chicken crochet patterns that are popular as well, and now I’ve found a cross stitch chicken pattern that might just become the newest iteration of the emotional support chicken theme.

The Funky Chickens pattern from Satsuma Street are three-dimensional, triangular chickens embellished with felt to make their facial features and tail feathers. The bodies include stripes, curves, speckles and other little designs to mark different parts of their bodies. They’re super cute and not any more difficult to stitch than any other pattern, though of course there’s more finishing than you would normally expect.

The pattern includes designs for three chickens, which are actually a rooster and two hens. The rooster is slightly larger, at 120 by 60 stitches, or 4 by 4 inches/10 cm when finished. The hens are 100 by 50 stitches and come out to 3.25 inches/8 cm when finished. These measurements are for stitching on 14 count fabric or 28 count over two.

The patterns use 13 colors, and if you want to make all three, one skein of each color will make all of them. In addition to your regular cross stitch supplies you’ll need three or four little pieces of felt of different colors to add all the details.

These chickens would be great to use as pincushions, or you could put something heavy in the bottom and use them as pattern weights if you do sewing. They’d also be fun gifts for anyone who likes chickens or needs a little emotional support if you explain it to them.

The pattern is available from Satsuma Street on Etsy.
