Funny Valentine’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

If your love isn’t super romantic and cheesy, maybe you’d rather stitch up a little something to make you both laugh for Valentine’s Day. These funny designs are still sweet but with a punny or funny twist.

If you met your beloved on a dating site, stitch up this design from Faber Cross Stitch on Etsy about being glad you swiped right. The plaid heart adds a little extra cuteness, but you can make it a solid heart or change up the colors if you want. As shown it uses four colors and is 58 by 51 stitches, which makes it perfect for a 5-inch hoop.

I did mention puns, and My Darling Plum has a bunch of punny Valentine’s cross stitch patterns if that’s you’re style. I couldn’t resist sharing a couple. I’ve taken a Viking to you is 4.5 by 4.8 inches on 14 count fabric, and the designer recommends using blue, white or cream fabric. All you knead is love wouldn’t have to be a Valentine but it would also be cute for that purpose. This one is 4 by 4 inches on 14 count.

All Seasons Stitcher wants you to win the argument over who loves who more once and for all. This one fits in a 4-inch hoop and only uses a few colors, so it’s great for a beginner.

If your love can outlast the dinosaurs (or maybe you’re as old as dinosaurs, LOL) this dino love Valentine cross stitch might be just the thing. It’s from Aliton Embroidery and just uses two colors in a design that measures 62 by 54 stitches, or 4.4 by 3.9 inches on 14 count fabric.

And if you’d do a lot of things, but not anything for your love, maybe you can express that with this almost sweet sentiment, also from Faber Cross Stitch. This one measures 102 by 106 stitches (or 7.2 by 7.5 inches on 14 count fabric) and uses four colors.

Natalka Studio is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a wide variety of cross stitch designs, including realistic, detailed designs with women doing various things, holiday patterns, geometrics and more.

One of the biggest categories in the shop is called girl cross stitch, which features detailed designs of women with flowing hair doing things like drinking coffee, dancing and carrying flowers. There are seasonal projects in this category as well as a couple having to do with hobbies.

I like the knitting one, of course, and almost shared the sewing one as the featured pattern above until I realized the thread is coming off a cone on the floor and there’s no pedal for running the machine.

The one I am sharing here isn’t actually in that category but it is really cute. Little Girl with Watermelon uses 21 colors and measures 73 by 73 stitches. That’s 5.21 inches or 13.3 cm square if you work it on 14 count fabric. I love her messy hair and the little dress and matching bows. You could also change the colors if you have a little girl who isn’t as into pink (or doesn’t have brown hair).

The largest category on the page is animals, and there you will find wild animals like monkeys, pandas and sloths; ocean creatures such as rays, an octopus and a blue tang fish; frogs, dogs and geese, among others.

There are also a lot of Christmas cross stitch patterns, which include a lot of traditional motifs and some more whimsical themes. I like this one of Santa resting by the fire with his boots off.

In addition to all these you’ll find pretty flowers, a bunch of mostly floral bookmarks, a whole big set of patterns with lemons, and a lot more. The fruits and berries section (if you like fruits other than lemons) would be perfect for decorating your kitchen or breakfast area.
