House Cross Stitch Patterns

Sometimes I come across a pattern I want to share and it causes me to look for other, similar patterns so that I can have a theme instead of sharing a single pattern with you.

That was the case with this pattern of a row of colorful houses (which is a free pattern from JP Crochet). It is super cute and could be a post of its own, talking about how it reminds me of beach houses and it would be fun to change up the colors to match houses in your neighborhood or just your decor. As written it uses nine colors and is 111 stitches square, or 20 cm/7.8 inches square when stitched on 14 count fabric.

If you like the look of beach house cross stitch patterns, I have another set of summer beach houses for you to look at.

I like the idea of houses all jumbled together, but they don’t necessarily have to be beach houses. For example the village houses from TAM Stitch Designs on Etsy. These rows of houses surrounded by trees and flowers are definitely not near the ocean, but they’re still really pretty (and a great way to use a lot of colors!). The piece is full coverage, 200 by 200 stitches, and uses 15 colors. As shown on 14 count fabric it comes out to about 14.25 inches/36.3 cm square.

And while these are not shown as stitched in a single frame, I also love the four season houses from Cute Patterns by Maria. These traditional homes sit in the different seasons but they would be cute grouped together in individual frames, or just hang each one during its particular season if you’d rather. These vary a little in size and use a ton of colors (between 14 and 33, depending on the project) but I think it would be a lot of fun to stitch all four.

Non Stop Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a dizzying quantity and variety of cross stitch patterns.

They tend to the cute/whimsical and colorful, with lots of flowers, animals, fantasy designs and some classic Ukraine inspired motifs.

How about this super sweet Ukrainian boy and girl design? With folk inspired clothing and adorable animals, these characters can be stitched together on one piece or separately. The images were designed by Nadiia Nagorna. The boy measures 50 by 96 and uses 22 colors and blends, while the girl is 62 by 94 stitches and uses 27 colors and blends.

Both projects involve full and half cross stitches, as well as backstitch and French knots. They are classified as intermediate patterns.

The largest category on the site is Christmas patterns, with more than 200 options, ranging from cute animals to ornaments, Santas, snowmen and more. There are also plenty of patterns for both Easter and Halloween if you like seasonal stitches.

In addition you’ll find lots of animal designs, from bears and foxes to cats and dogs, mice and elephants, birds, bunnies and bugs. And extensive flowers and plants section includes pretty bouquet cross stitch patterns, stitched wreaths and seasonal scenes, as well as food cross stitch patterns, like a swag of chili peppers, mushrooms on a postage stamp, persimmons and cherries.

The fantasy and magic category leans heavy on whimsy with cute dragons, a one-eyed monster with dragonfly wings, a mermaid listening to music, and a green bearded river spirit covered in lily pads.

And that’s not even to mention other sections like food and drinks, houses and landscapes, lighthouses, people/babies/dolls and more. There’s so much to choose from there’s no way to really categorize it all, so why don’t you head over to Non Stop Stitch and do some scrolling. I’d love to hear if you make one of their patterns!
