Mitten Cross Stitch Patterns

December 21, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

It’s probably the knitter in me, but I’m drawn to holiday projects that use winter wardrobe staples as motifs. Bring me all the tiny Christmas sweater ornaments, hats on snowmen, and, yes, mitten cross stitch patterns.

I’m clearly not alone because there are a lot of them out there. Let’s dive in to the fun little world of cross stitch mitten patterns.

Speaking of mittens and other winter things as decor, here’s a set that includes mittens, a hat, sweater and a stocking, from Cross with Me on Etsy. I love the red and white look on these but you could use any holiday colors you like.

Red and white is a popular choice when it comes to mitten cross stitch patterns, because here are some more from Easy Patterns Only. I love the Nordic stars and knitting-inspired patterns on these, the full set of which measures 42 by 45 stitches. These would be super cute as a holiday card or as a border on another project, too.

Another Nordic style mitten pattern can be found in this blue and white design from Hapinesst. This one is 74 by 52 stitches and fits in a 7 inch hoop as a frame. It uses four colors.

A cool spin on the mitten cross stitch pattern is these from Tapestry Barn on Etsy. These patterns are mitten shaped, use cross stitch, long stitch and French knots, and are meant to be cut out and used as mitten-shaped ornaments. They feature reindeer, hearts, Scandi patterns and more, and they also have a source for wooden mitten blanks that you can stitch right onto instead of using fabric if you want.

If you’re looking for a pattern that’s a little more than just a mitten, check out the Left Gingerbread Mitten from Shannon Christine. This 40 by 54 design features a gingerbread person and a candy cane peeking out of a mitten being used as a stocking. (And yes there’s a right mitten version as well.)

Or try this mitten in an ornament pattern from 1000s Patterns on Etsy. This one is so pretty on dark fabric, but you could also cut it out and mount it to use as an ornament if you want. It is 39 by 48 stitches and uses 16 colors.

Cross Stitch Patterns with Christmas Ornaments

I was trying to think of some different Christmas cross stitch pattern themes that I could share with you and I came up with wanting to do a post of patterns with ornaments on them that aren’t necessarily ornaments themselves.

This is a really hard term to search for, so I’m sure there is more than what I was able to find. But I love the idea of stitching up some ornaments if you don’t have space for a tree or want to send a little holiday cheer from afar. Let’s take a look at these cross stitch patterns featuring Christmas ornaments.

The bold baubles sampler from xCounting the Starsx is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. This set of 16 little ornaments would be cute propped up on a mantle or bookshelf, and of course you could stitch them individually and turn them into ornaments, too, if you wanted. The full design is 165 by 186 stitches and uses 30 colors.

If you want even more baubles that you can mix and match into your own sampler project, check out this collection from Mason Art Maison. It includes a whopping 140 cross stitch Christmas ornaments that you can combine or use on individual projects. I love the hand drawn and painted look of these. There are seven pages or ornaments, each of which is around 300 by 300 stitches, with the individual ornaments running around 70 by 70 stitches.

Looking for something smaller? This little branch with three ball ornaments from Wild Bluebell Patterns is super cute and just 59 by 43 stitches. It comes out to 4.2 by 3.1 inches (or 10.7 by 7.8 cm).

Or try this little bundle of three baubles from Ecliptica Design. They’re shown in individual frames but you could also line them up into one project. Each is 34 by 38 stitches, or 2.4 by 2.7 inches/6.2 by 6.9 cm. They use five colors and two blends each.

Snail Fishes Stitches also has a cute Christmas ornament cross stitch pattern with a variety of little ornaments. This one uses just three colors and is 63 by 64 stitches. It’s perfect for a 5 or 6 inch hoop if you stitch it on 14 count fabric.
