The Best Roundup Of Minecraft Cross Stitch Patterns

With a new Minecraft movie out in theaters, it seems like a great time to share some Minecraft cross stitch patterns. I’ve never known much about Minecraft but I know a lot of people love it, so let’s see what I found.

Of course because it has an 8-bit style it’s easy to translate to cross stitch patterns and remain pretty faithful to the original look of the game. Like with these little designs from Lab Pattern. The information on the photo and in the listing don’t match, but I think the listing is correct based on my attempt to count pixels in the photo, which would make the full set 55 by 48 stitches. That’s 3.93 by 3.43 inches/9.98 by 8.71 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 22 colors.

This pixel poster from Mushroom Moon XStitch is a Minecraft and Pokemon mashup featuring the animals of Minecraft. It measures 134 by 198 stitches, or 9.57 by 14.14 inches/24.3 by 40 cm on 14 count fabric (the pattern includes counts for finer fabric, too, if you want to make it smaller). It uses 21 colors.

There’s a whole rainbow of colors in the Minecraft world, as shown in this design from Fizzikyu. This 200 by 200 stitch pattern uses 87 colors, so it’s not really a project for a beginner but it would be a great one to stitch for a Minecraft fan.

Speaking of the wide world of Minecraft, you can stitch it all, from the surface to the underground and the nether, with this design from Arcane Pigeon converted to cross stitch by Glitch Stitch AU. This design uses 39 colors and measures 100 by 300 stitches, or 21.5 by 7.25 inches/54.4 by 18.1 cm on 14 count fabric. What a stunner for a game room!

Little X Stitch Pattern has a set of six Minecraft character cross stitch patterns, which you can stitch individually or as a set on one piece of fabric. Each individual character is around 35 by 35 stitches (except for the wolf, not shown here), so they come out around 2.5 inches/6.3 cm on 14 count fabric.

One of the most famous creatures from Minecraft is the axolotl, of course, and you can stitch up a cross stitch Minecraft style axolotl with this design from Palatable Patterns. This is the rare blue axolotl, but you can make it another color if you like (today I learned axolotls in Minecraft can be pink, brown, gold, cyan or blue). The pattern is 75 by 75 stitches.

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own.

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
