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.

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.

20 Snow Globe Cross-Stitch Patterns

I came across the Etsy shop Bad Stitched when I was looking for bookmark cross stitch patterns and found their adorable pride bat bookmark, which I didn’t share then because I was going for more of a back to school vibe, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you love rainbows and bats.

This Etsy shop is big on whimsy and color, but not on organization, as there are not categories. Still, as of this writing there were only a little more than 60 patterns, so it’s small enough to scroll through.

In keeping with the theme of the bat bookmark, there are a lot of designs with animals and insects in different colors. Another one that caught my in this neon cicada with a crescent moon and stars. This one is 85 by 70 stitches and uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 6 by 5 inches, or 15.4 by 12.7 cm.

You’ll also find patterns with animals such as mice, a snail, a jellyfish, a wolf, a corgi in a birthday hat, a fat seal and other bat designs. There are several mushroom designs, a pirate frog, and a scuba diving ghost (among other ghostly designs). You’ll find cats and mythical characters, a mouse thinking about eating strawberries and more.

There’s also an ebook full of mushroom designs, and another of creepy creatures for Halloween and beyond. There’s also a Pantheon bundle, full of gods, goddesses, characters from mythology, three amphora designs and a Greek inspired font.

If these sorts of designs sound like something you’d like to stitch, check out Bad Stitched on Etsy.
