The Best Roundup Of Minecraft Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Cross Stitch Sheep Projects

As a knitter, I love a good sheep motif, so let’s take a look at some cute sheep cross stitch patterns. 

If you want to stitch a little sheep, this mini square from Good Dog Needleworks is a nice choice. It uses just three colors and measures 32 by 32 stitches. That’s 2.2 inches or about 5.5 cm square if you stitch it on 14 count fabric. 

I also love these two little sheep, which you can stitch together or in individual hoops and shown. The designs are form Threadbound Art and use six colors. They are slightly different in size, with one being 21 by 17 stitches and the other 21 by 20. They fit in four inch frames if you work them on 14 count fabric. 

You can stitch a sweet sheep bookmark with this design from Kits by SA Stitch. This is not for the person who doesn’t like back stitch, because there’s a lot of that here, but it is really cute. It measures 30 by 91 stitches and uses 10 colors. That will make your bookmark about 2.4 by 6.5 inches, or 6 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Stitch a pretty scene of sheep in a meadow with this design from Motok Nytok. It uses 21 colors and the design is 99 by 73 stitches. On 14 count fabric that makes it about 7.07 by 5.21 inches, or 17.96 by 13.24 cm. 

This yarn full of cross stitch sheep has a bit of a knitting twist because the sheep all look like they have sweaters on. The design is from Soda Stitch Design and it measures 179 by 216 stitches. The full design uses 27 colors. On 14 count fabric it will work out to 12.78 by 15.42 inches, or 32.48 by 39.19 cm. 

Another great one with a knitting theme is this one where the wool is coming off the sheep and straight onto the needles. This one is from Happy Cross Stitchers and uses 12 colors. The pattern is 137 by 137 stitches, which comes out to 9.7 inches or 24.86 cm square on 14 count fabric. This would be a fun one to stitch for the knitter in your life (even if that is you). 

Or you can stitch the field of sheep of a knitter’s dreams with the Happy Sheep chart from Charts and Stuff. These per-colored sheep can be stitched as shown or worked in any colors you like. The eyes are French knots but you can just stitch them in white if you’d rather.
