More Cute Valentine Projects to Cross Stitch

I can’t get enough of cute Valentine’s day cross stitch projects, so here are a few more for you to check out!

Happy Stitch has a bunch of cute Valentine’s Day cross stitch patterns, including a heart with flowers, a love potion, silhouettes, hearts, doves and more. All free.

This wee I heart you cross stitch from Do Small Things with Love is really sweet for a valentine card or to hang along with some family pictures in your house.

If you scroll down on this page from Happiness is Cross Stitching, you’ll find a valentine-themed cat cross stitch pattern in English and French. These downloads don’t list the thread used; it’s just the chart. She also sells patterns on Craftsy; I didn’t find that exact one but there is another cute one with a cat for $3 there.

What are you stitching for Valentine’s Day? I’d love to hear about it!

A reader suggested that I share Needle Lot Designs with you, which isn’t a designer I was familiar with, so let’s check it out together.

Their designs are colorful, with lots of animals, fantasy and folklore inspired designs. The page’s tagline says it makes “cross stitch patterns for quirky hearts.”

The largest category on the site is called animal friends, though there are plenty of other categories about animals and nature, too (such as bugs & beetles and aquatic animals). These aren’t the sorts of animals you’d generally expect to find in cross stitch. There’s a poison heart frog, a capybara in a teacup, a racoon and possum teaming up to go through the trash.

My favorite here is this pretty red panda, sitting on a branch in front of a stand of bamboo. This one uses 19 colors, and it’s all full cross stitches but the designer calls it an intermediate pattern because of the size and number of colors involved. It’s 100 by 105 stitches, and shown worked on 32 count Belfast linen.

Worked on 14 count fabric it measures 7.25 by 7.5 inches, or 18.1 by 19.1 cm.

There are also art nouveau designs featuring animals, as well as a few animal-themed tarot cards.

The fantasy and folklore section includes Mothman, Nessie and a baby jackalope, as well as a couple of dragon designs and Cerberus reimagined as a three-headed cat. (Yes, it’s called Cerberpuss.)

You’ll even find a few Halloween/fall and Christmas/winter patterns if you like the seasonal stuff. Check out all their designs at Needle Lot Designs on Etsy.

And if you want me to feature one of your favorite designers that I haven’t mentioned yet, you can share that by leaving a comment on this post or heading to the top of the page, clicking on “suggest a craft” in the middle of the top navigation bar and filling out the form there.
