Jingle All the Way Cross Stitch Ornament

Immerse yourself in the delightful world of cross stitching with this charming ornament pattern. Its whimsical design is sure to bring joy and excitement to your stitching journey. What sets this pattern apart is its unique color scheme, deviating from the traditional Christmas colors of reds and greens. Instead, it features a playful combination of oranges and blues, infusing a refreshing and contemporary twist into your holiday decor. Of course, the beauty of cross stitch lies in its versatility, so feel free to unleash your creativity and personalize the colors to suit your preferences. Whether you choose to embrace the original color scheme or explore a more traditional palette, this pattern promises hours of stitching enjoyment.

For an added touch of festive cheer, consider incorporating the words “jingle all the way” into your design. With their merry and lively connotation, these words perfectly capture the spirit of the holiday season. Embroider them below the ornament using gold thread for a sparkling effect that will elevate your finished piece. Alternatively, if you prefer a simpler approach, you can focus solely on stitching the ornament itself, allowing its intricate details and captivating design to take center stage.

Rated for intermediate stitchers, this pattern offers an exciting challenge that will keep you engaged throughout the stitching process. With seven colors used, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with various shades and create depth in your artwork. To make it even more accessible, the pattern is available as a free chart from DMC, a trusted and reputable source for cross stitch enthusiasts.

15 Ugly Christmas Holiday Sweaters To Cross Stitch

If you love patterns for frogs and sardines, animals, food, flowers and more, Happy Cross Stitchers has got you covered. With more than 1,600 patterns as of this writing, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something that cross stitch patterns featuring sardines are showing up everywhere (this is the second designer I’ve seen with them in the past month or so) but Happy Cross Stitchers has 60 sardine cross stitch patterns. They also have 200 patterns with flowers, and even more than that in their biggest category, which is animals.

Many of the animal cross stitch patterns have a modern nursery feel to them, like this set of four modern boho animal patterns featuring what I’m interpreting as owls, a moose (or it coulr be a deer), a donkey and a cow. Each individual pattern is 100 by 100 stitches and they use six or seven colors. The designs will come out to 7.1 inches or 18.14 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a large number of Christmas cross stitch patterns, with lots of trees, little houses, Santas and word art. There are lots of bunnies, eggs and chicks in the Easter section.

The modern designs include lots of colorful, graphic florals. There are also well over 100 butterflies, many of which at least look like they could be inspired by real butterflies (though none of them are labeled as to what kind of butterfly they are).

You’ll also find plenty of cute and often funny cat and dog cross stitch patterns, though there are a lot more cats than dogs represented. And then there’s the food section, with patterns for fruits, different kinds of toast, a jar of pickles, doughnuts and more.

And that’s not even all there is in this store! I guess all this is a long way of saying there’s a lot of fun patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCrossStitchers on Etsy and you should go browse because you’ll probably find something you like. And if you do, I’d like to hear about it!
