Gorgeous Butterfly Cross-Stitch Chart

I don’t usually share cross stitch charts from Russian or Eastern European websites, because I’m pretty sure they are all copyright violations, but at least this one has some kind of credit on it, and it’s really just too pretty to pass up, so I hope you’ll indulge me this one.

Are the butterflies back where you live? We have been seeing some the past couple of weeks, and it’s just so fun.

Keep butterflies nearby all year when you stitch this pretty butterfly pattern from Michaela Learner, which made it to that site via the Cross Stitching Guild Facebook page. It’s so colorful but easy to stitch. You might even choose multicolored yarn for the butterfly wings to make it even easier. As it is this chart uses only eight colors, so no big deal either way.

Designer Spotlight: Crystal Feather Crafts

If you like landscapes, animals and floral cross stitch patterns with a big does of cuteness, odds are good you’ll find something you want to stitch at Crystal Feather Crafts. This Etsy shop has more than 200 patterns with a focus on nature and often a cute touch.

For example in the animals section you’ll find adorable little dinosaurs, lots of sweet cats and a corgi butt. I love the maneki neko cat shown here, which really pops on dark blue fabric but would be pretty on whatever color you have handy.

This design is 74 by 102 stitches, which comes out to 5.3 by 7.3 inches on 14 count fabric (or 13.4 by 18.5 cm).

In addition to adorable animals you’ll find some pretty standard landscapes (heavy on the mountains), dainty floral designs and some bees, butterflies, moths and other insects that are more realistic than the other animals.

There are also some sweet holiday patterns for Christmas and Halloween (love all those cute little ghosts!), and a few more general autumn ones as well (featuring mushrooms, pumpkins and the like). A handful of other patterns are listed as being for the home, funny (a few cartoony sushis here among other things), alphabets and more.

If you like their designs as of this writing you can get 30 percent off your purchase when you buy three patterns at the same time. Check them out at Crystal Feather Crafts.
