Holiday Bauble Cross Stitch Patterns

I love a good handmade Christmas ornament, and some of these patterns literally are meant to be ornaments, while others are patterns of ornaments, which you could probably make into ornaments or stitch up to hang near the tree. They’d also make cute gift tags for holiday gifts. Read on to discover some super cute Christmas bauble cross stitch patterns.

In the first category, we have this cute Christmas ornament with a car and Christmas tree from Living on the Rainbow on Etsy. This sweet design is meant to be a holiday ball ornament, with instructions for that included in the pattern (she used a sewing machine but it could probably also be stitched by hand). You could also make this design on a card or in a little hoop if you don’t want to make the ball.

The Merry Stitchmas ornament pattern from Kreinik is meant to be placed in an ornament frame, but a small hoop would work, too. It’s worked in silk thread with gold filament accents, making it a fancy looking design that would be great as a gift.

The Starry Ornament cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes are ornament shaped but made to display in little festive hoops. I love the kind of retro colors on these, and the addition of pompom trim to the 3-inch hoops for display adds and extra layer of cuteness.

If you just want to stitch ornaments that aren’t necessarily ornaments themselves, check out the Christmas ornament cross stitch pattern from Craft with Cartwright. These pretty retro ornaments are easy to stitch and you can change up the colors to suit your holiday decor.

Or try these little Noel bauble cross stitch patterns from Echevette. The site is in French but you don’t need to read anything to understand this pattern (and the colors are actually listed in English as well as by DMC number so it’s easy to choose colors).

Cross Stitch Christmas Gift Tag Patterns

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).
