Get Ready to Garden with these Gardening Cross Stitch Patterns

It’s finally time where we can start gardening for real where I live, so let’s celebrate with some garden themed cross stitch patterns.

Craft with Cartwright has a cute garden sampler that includes a fork, spade, welly boot, birds and a bird hose, a watering can, flowers, veggies and butterflies. Stitch the whole sampler as it is or take out the elements you like to use in a smaller project. As is, this design is 96 by 152 stitches, which comes out to 6.86 by 10.86 inches, or 17.4 by 27.5 cm. It uses nine colors and is a free pattern on her website.

Stitchrovia has a cute farm scene called In the Garden, which includes a shed, wheelbarrow, watering can, a boot, a glove, a tiny greenhouse, plants and more. This one is 152 by 190 stitches, which comes out to 10.9 by 13.6 inches, or 27.6 by 34.5 cm, on 14 count fabric. The design uses at least 11 colors.

Happy Crosses has another cute design full of garden tools and plants that would be fun to stitch up for your sun room or wherever you have plants in the house. It’s 171 by 171 stitches, which is 12.2 inches square or 31.1 cm square on 14 count fabric (the pattern notes include sizing information for other counts).

Luzatoyle has a cute and easy garden cross stitch pattern that includes a hat, glove, spade, watering can and flower in a pot. This one looks like it uses six colors and is 63 by 52 stitches. That’s about 4.4 by 3.7 inches, or 11 by 9 cm, on 14 count fabric. This would be another nice one to just stitch one of the images onto a smaller project like a card for a gardening friend.

I also love the Kitchen Garden pattern from Little Dove Samplers. This sweet design shows a greenhosue, rows of plants, rabbits, garden tools and more. At 120 by 180 stitches, it measures 8.5 by 12.75 inches or 21.5 by 32.4 cm on 14 count fabric (though the sample was stitched on 16 count, which comes out a little smaller).

These backpack cross stitch patterns aren’t like the backpacks you would use for school, but they might inspire you to go on a different sort of adventure, and pack your sense of humor.

When it comes to funny cross stitch, this Adventure Awaits rubber ducky cross stitch pattern from Relaxing Hobby Studio is super cute. It uses nine colors and measures 52 by 75 stitches, which comes out to about 3.8 by 5.4 inches, or 9.7 by 13.8 cm, on 14 count fabric.

I also love this little pigeon adventurer from Happy Cross Stitchers. Actually, with hoodie and sneakers this pigeon does look like he’s ready for school! This one measures 88 by 138 stitches and uses 13 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 6.2 by 9.8 inches, or 15.97 by 25.04 cm.

This sleepy cat is ready for an adventure as soon as they wake up from their nap. This sweet design from MoonLit Patterns features a kitty curled up on a backpack and wearing a knight’s helmet. This project uses 19 colors and measures 130 by 130 stitches. That makes it about 9.3 inches square, or 23.6 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric.

Or stitch up this backpack filled with flowers from Owl and Thread. This looks like just the bag you’d want to have for a walk in the forest or a spring meadow. The design is 71 by 90 stitches and uses 32 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 5 by 6.4 inches, or 12.9 16.3 cm.

I also like this kind of watercolor look girl with a backpack pattern from StitchALong Studios. You can change the color of hair and clothes as you like. As shown it uses 20 colors and is 90 by 132 stitches. That’s 6.375 by 9.375 inches, or 16 by 24 cm, if you work on 14 count fabric.

If you’re looking for a design with more of a fall or winter look, check out this girl with a backpack wearing a hat and coat from GlamourXStitch. At 150 by 150 stitches, this one uses 26 colors. It comes out to 10.71 inches, or 27.2 cm, on 14 count fabric.
