Hanukkah Cross Stitch Patterns

by

It feels like every year I find more Hanukkah cross stitch patterns to share, which I guess is true of every holiday! (Check out some past Hanukkah cross stitch patterns if you need even more inspiration. I almost shared the dreidel gnome again because I love him so much!)

I love of holiday pattern with a bit of snark so of course I had to share the Oy to the World cross stitch pattern from Dissent Stitch. If you’re in a family that celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah this is a perfect one to make. It measures 4.9 by 7.6 inches (that’s about 12.5 by 19.3 cm) when stitched on 14 count fabric and it uses just two colors. 

This lovely design from Diana Watters Handmade has the menorah candles looking a little bit like flowers or stalks of wheat. From what I can tell this pattern is only available as a kit, which includes the hoop, fabric, needle, pre-cut thread in all the colors you need, the pattern and instructions on how to cross stitch. The kit comes with the pretty blue fabric shown and the design fits in a 7-inch hoop. 

The last couple of patterns I wanted to share are also menorah patterns, and they both happen to be from Cross Stitch Wow. I don’t usually share multiple patterns from the same designer at the same time, but I couldn’t possibly pick just one.

Of course that’s because there was a cat involved. This cap napping under the menorah pattern is super sweet for the cat lover in your life, and you can change up the colors to match a cat you know if you want. The design fits in a 5-inch hoop and measures 45 by 40 stitches. That’s 3.2 by 2.9 inches, or 8.1 by 7.2 cm. It calls for 8 colors. 

The other one I wanted to share has more colorful candles but actually uses fewer colors at just 5. It also fits in a 5-inch hoop and includes the menorah and Stars of David. This one is 65 by 65 stitches, which comes out to 4.7 inches or 11.8 cm on each side.

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
