Gorgeous Mushroom Cross Stitch Patterns

I don’t know why I feel like mushrooms may be the motif of fall this year. Don’t get me wrong; I love pumpkins, but I have made so many of them I think I at least am ready to move on to something else. And that thing might just be mushrooms. So let’s peruse some lovely mushroom knitting patterns.

I love this set of mini mushroom cross stitch patterns from Stitchin Madness. They’re great for beginners because they’re so small, and each individual pattern doesn’t use a ton of colors. Six of the 17 designs are shown above, but there’s a range including fly agaric, morel, chanterelle, honey mushrooms and more. Each pattern is 30 by 35 stitches, which comes out to about 2.1 by 2.5 inches or 5.4 by 6.3 cm on 14 count fabric. The designs range from using 7 to 13 colors.

Another great set of little mushroom cross stitch patterns comes from Teeny Weeny X Stitch, which has this collection of 24 patterns. Stitch up one or some, individually or in a group like is shown here. Each individual pattern is less and 40 by 40 stitches, or smaller than 3 inches/7.6 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric. The number of colors used depends on the design but ranges from 5 to 16 colors per shroom.

This set from SamXstitch has kind of a ’70s vibe to it (don’t ask me why; must be all the browns and yellows). I love it as one big pieces but you could also separate out your favorite fungi to stitch if you prefer. The full deisgn is 153 by 153 stitches, or 10.93 inches/27.75 cm square on 14 count fabric. It uses 16 colors.

The collection of mushrooms from Thread Nova Studios measures 200 by 200, which is a little more than 14 inches or 36.3 cm square on 14 count fabric. The individual mushrooms look pretty small so they’d be nice to add to a cloth napkin or a bookmark if you want to stitch something other than a big hoop of mushrooms (not that there’s anything wrong with that!).

Happy Little Mouse has a great, colorful rt of mushrooms of all sorts, with additional touches like butterflies, bugs, other animals, the moon or even little houses tucked into the scene. These are more whimsical that some of the others, but that’s definitely part of the charm. The full set is eight designs; one is shown here.

Mushroom Cross Stitch Patterns

Unique Stitch Crafts is a Turkish designer that has a couple of main interests in their cross stitch designs: travel and Christmas stockings.

By far the biggest category in their storefront is Christmas stockings, with more than 100 options to choose from. There are fully stitched fronts with designs classic and whimsical (like an alicorn and a pastel rainbow, or a bunny in Harlequin costume playing violin to a mushroom) and designs that just go across the cuff of the stocking. There are ornaments with a Nutcracker or Frozen theme, New York City stockings and stockings for your dinosaur.

As an example, here’s a stocking covered with mini holiday designs, which you could also use as ornaments if you wanted. The full design is 165 by 255 stitches, which comes out to 10.3 by 16 inches, or 26 by 40.6 cm on 16 count fabric. The pattern just makes the front of the stocking so you need to grab some fabric for the back of the stocking and sew it together yourself.

There’s also a large collection of travel cross stitch patterns, including national parks designs both large and mini, and travel poster style designs for many US states and cities. (There’s not an Arkansas, which is my standard test since I live there, but there is a pattern of the Mississippi River bridge in Memphis, which is technically half in Arkansas.)

If you’re more of a world traveler you’ll find more of the travel poster style designs for cities and countries, including Thailand and China, Berlin, Sydney and Marrakech.

In addition to all of that, you’ll find patterns called retro, which includes a wide range of designs, but many seem to be food and coffee related; folk art designs (lots of flowers and birds); and famous paintings translated to cross stitch. Smaller categories include Christmas, Halloween, animals, kids and castles.
