Leprechaun Cross Stitch Patterns

February 18, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

The Internet seems to be confused about the difference between leprechauns and gnomes if my search for leprechaun cross stitch patterns is any indication. Both are mischievous and small creatures from folklore, but gnomes are Germanic in origin while leprechauns are Irish.

And while gnomes can be seen dressed in all sorts of holiday attire (apparently leprechauns can, too, since I found a cross stitch pattern that inexplicably includes a leprechaun dressed as an elephant), it would be more traditional to include leprechauns in your St. Patrick’s Day decor. Here are a few options for leprechaun cross stitch patterns.

This gorgeous design from Ikatshomemade on Etsy is very traditional with the pipe, beard and beer, sitting on a barrel of gold. This is definitely an advanced pattern, as it is 120 by 194 stitches, uses 44 solids and 10 blends, as well as full, half and 3/4 stitches and lots of backstitch details. But this would be a great one to stitch for a lover of Irish folklore.

Another more traditional (and complex) pattern is from Incredible Stitching on Etsy and features a leprechaun with a cauldron of gold. This one is 87 by 112 stitches and uses 53 colors. It uses full and half stitches, as well as back stitching and French knots.

Italia Print has a more cartoony version of the leprechaun to stitch, worked in 14 colors in 67 by 72 stitches. There’s a similar one from Lab Pattern, which is 96 by 100 stitches and uses 16 colors.

Or if you just want a face, check out this design from PionyStitch. It uses nine colors and has a stitching area of 49 by 70 stitches.

The Lucky Leprechaun by Emily Call has a more primitive look, and the added touch of the leprechaun being surrounded by flowers. It’s 60 by 90 stitches and looks so cute as a little pillow, though of course you could frame it if you like.

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Cross Stitch Patterns

Since I covered Ted Lasso cross stitch patterns the other day, it feels like it’s time to share some cross stitch inspired by another show that just wrapped its final season, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” This show gave us retro style and a bunch of sassy female characters to remember. And again the patterns get a little salty thanks to one of Midge’s catchphrases.

 

Stitch a bunch of little characters from the show, or just your favorites from this sampler from Pixel Power Designs. The full piece measures 92 by 103 stitches and uses 13 colors. It comes out to 6.57 by 8.79 inches when worked on 14 count fabric.

Snarky Crafter Designs has a great Midge quote done in cross stitch. It is 116 by 156 stitches and uses two colors, and it uses cross stitches and back stitch. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.25 by 11 1/8 inches, but you can use whatever count fabric you like. And don’t act sorry about it!

Say “Thank you and goodnight!” with this Mrs. Maisel cross stitch pattern from Not Nana’s Cross Stitch on Etsy. This one looks like it uses five colors, and the design is 55 by 48 stitches.

OK, now for the salty ones. Midge and Susie are known for saying “Tits up” before a show, so of course that phrase has made it into Marvelous Mrs. Maisel cross stitch patterns. Stitch just those words in a retro font with the pattern from Stitch and Poke Company. It looks like two colors are used and the designer notes that if you use 18 count fabric the design will fit in a six-inch hoop.

Or you can stitch a Midge along with her famous phrase with a design from Fushia Hoops. This one is 72 by 105 stitches and is just over 5 by 7.5 inches worked on 14 count fabric. Let these designs be a reminder to greet every day as your feisty, awesome self.
