Make Your Own Cross Stitch Designs with these Printable Grids

If designing your own cross stitch patterns is one of your resolutions for the coming year, check out these free printable blank cross stitch grids from Ajisai Press. (This website no longer exists but we were able to find these new links)

Grid Paper

The free PDF download includes four pages:

11 count Aida
14 count Aida and 28 count linen
16 count Aida and 32 count linen
18 count Aida and 36 count linen

You can use these to design for any of those counts, and there’s a little grid at the bottom where you can code the colored pencil or markings you make to the color of floss you want to use.

These printables make it that much easier to make your own designs. The only catch is that they are in the website’s store as a product, so you have to go through the process of creating an account and checking out in order to download them. Still, it might be worth it to have all the different sizes in one place you can keep on your computer forever.

If you have another source for grids you use, I’d love to hear about it!

If you like your cross stitch designs full of color and with a bit of an 8-bit video game feel, you’ll want to check out Flossy Fox Shop. This Etsy seller based in Washington state specializes in fantasy creatures, cozy witch scenes, magic and myths, as well as other designs that are sure to delight.

I know that shop category “cozy witch scenes” caught my attention, so let’s take a look. It’s mostly sampler style designs with lots of little elements, and some are specifically parts of the house like a cozy with kitchen or library. The one shown here is called Bats and Bells, Tea and Spells, and it includes a table in front of a window with plenty of fun creatures like a fox, crow, dragon and cat.

On the wall there are swords and an axe, and maybe also some drying herbs and a teapot. The design is 82 by 77 stitches and uses 22 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 5.9 by 5.5 inches, or almost 15 by 14 cm.

The largest category is myths and magic, which includes cryptids, dragons, mermaids, kitsune and other fanciful creatures. Another large group is animals and nature, which is heavy on cats and corgis, as well as foxes.

There’s also a handful of cute bookmarks, some Christmas designs, and a few cute video game inspired designs. They also have a few stitchalongs if that’s something you enjoy.

These projects are colorful, cute and whimsical, and look like they would be a lot of fun to stitch if you like this style.

The shop also includes some cute needle minders and washi tape in a similar style if you want to coordinate your stitching.

Check out all the cuteness at Flossy Fox Shop, and if you stitch up one of their patterns I’d love to hear about it!
