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.

As a knitter, I love a good sheep motif, so let’s take a look at some cute sheep cross stitch patterns.

If you want to stitch a little sheep, this mini square from Good Dog Needleworks is a nice choice. It uses just three colors and measures 32 by 32 stitches. That’s 2.2 inches or about 5.5 cm square if you stitch it on 14 count fabric.

I also love these two little sheep, which you can stitch together or in individual hoops and shown. The designs are form Threadbound Art and use six colors. They are slightly different in size, with one being 21 by 17 stitches and the other 21 by 20. They fit in four inch frames if you work them on 14 count fabric.

You can stitch a sweet sheep bookmark with this design from Kits by SA Stitch. This is not for the person who doesn’t like back stitch, because there’s a lot of that here, but it is really cute. It measures 30 by 91 stitches and uses 10 colors. That will make your bookmark about 2.4 by 6.5 inches, or 6 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Stitch a pretty scene of sheep in a meadow with this design from Motok Nytok. It uses 21 colors and the design is 99 by 73 stitches. On 14 count fabric that makes it about 7.07 by 5.21 inches, or 17.96 by 13.24 cm.

This yarn full of cross stitch sheep has a bit of a knitting twist because the sheep all look like they have sweaters on. The design is from Soda Stitch Design and it measures 179 by 216 stitches. The full design uses 27 colors. On 14 count fabric it will work out to 12.78 by 15.42 inches, or 32.48 by 39.19 cm.

Another great one with a knitting theme is this one where the wool is coming off the sheep and straight onto the needles. This one is from Happy Cross Stitchers and uses 12 colors. The pattern is 137 by 137 stitches, which comes out to 9.7 inches or 24.86 cm square on 14 count fabric. This would be a fun one to stitch for the knitter in your life (even if that is you).

Or you can stitch the field of sheep of a knitter’s dreams with the Happy Sheep chart from Charts and Stuff. These per-colored sheep can be stitched as shown or worked in any colors you like. The eyes are French knots but you can just stitch them in white if you’d rather.
