Funny Dog Cross Stitch Patterns

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.

I don’t know why it still surprises me that there are cross stitch patterns available for almost anything you can think of. I wasn’t looking for pool themed cross stitch patterns, but in scrolling around Etsy looking more generally for summer cross stitch patterns, I found a lot of pool patterns so I figured I should share them.

I love the colors in these designs, almost as cool as sliding into the pool on a hot day.

The first one I found was Pool Party by Milky Stitch. It features someone lounging in the pool, someone lounging next to the pool, and some fun accessories you might need for a day at the pool. It uses 20 colors and was designed for 11 count fabric, which means it comes out to 12.2 by 8.2 inches, or 31 by 21 cm.

Pastel Pool from Stitch Me Good Designs looks like it would fit right in with Pool Party on a gallery wall. This one uses seven colors and 14 count fabric and fits in a 7-inch hoop.

Speaking of gallery walls, if you want a room full of summer sun and pool themed cross stitch, check out this trifecta of pool designs from Craft Bundle Lab. There’s a women floating in a pool with a large hat, a float in a pool and several floats and pool toys in another pool with a fun checkerboard bottom. Each design uses 12 colors and they are about 14.6 inches/37 cm square worked on 14-count fabric.

This designs from Cross Stitchers United shows three people floating in a pool in different ways. This one has cross stitched water, or you can stitch it on blue fabric and save yourself some time. As shown it uses nine colors and is 94 by 94 stitches, which is 6.7 inches or 17 cm square on 14-count fabric.

The Swimmers in a Pool cross stitch pattern from Thread Nova Studios is delightful. It’s stitched with everyone wearing red suits, but you could change up some of them — or even just one of them — to change the look of the project. This one uses 14 colors and is 200 by 200 stitches. That’s about 14.3 inches/36.3 cm on 14 count fabric, though the pattern includes sizing for other stitch counts, too.

And finally the pool pattern from The Lady at Home just makes you wish you could jump right into it. The pool with floats looks super inviting, and it is stitched on 14-count fabric with a finished size of 5 by 7 inches/12.7 by 17.8 cm.
