Mushroom Cross Stitch Patterns

August 9, 2023 by Sarah White

The other day I came across a mushroom cross stitch pattern that I have shared with you before (you can find it here!) and it got me thinking about more mushrooms.

To be honest I think about mushrooms a lot because my daughter loves them and they are fun to craft in all sorts of genres. (I made a crocheted mushroom earlier this summer, and have collected mushroom knitting patterns, too.)

This sweet little cross stitch pattern of mushrooms in a jar would be so cute hanging in a kitchen or stitched on your tea towels. If you stitch it on fine enough fabric you could even turn it into a little necklace to fulfill all your cottagecore fantasies. The pattern has two versions, one with more details, and uses eight to ten colors depending on the version you choose. It measures 24 by 29 stitches and you can grab it on Etsy from Snail Fishes Stitches.

Art Inspirate on Etsy has another great design with three mushrooms of different sizes and a bit of grass. It is 51 by 54 stitches and uses nine colors. It comes out to 3.64 by 3.86 inches on 14 count fabric and is all whole cross stitches, so it’s a nice one for new stitchers looking to increase their skills.

A sweet cluster of mushrooms is hanging out with some greenery in this design from Allie Page Embroidery Shop on Etsy. If you work this one on 16-count fabric, it will fit into a 3-inch hoop. So cute!

Stitch up some mushrooms in a nighttime scene with this design from Harp Seal Crafts. Of course this one is ideal on dark-colored fabric, and it uses 15 colors. The design is 83 by 85 stitches, which measures 5.93 by 6.07 inches on 14 count fabric.

If you’re looking for something a little less realistic, I love this mushroom house cross stitch pattern from Shannon Christine Designs. The design is 53 by 58 stitches, and I think it uses a little bit of beading to make the house more magical, but of course you could leave that off if you want.

Make Your Cross Stitch into an Iron On Patch

A while back I made a little rainbow cross stitch pattern and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it, so I turned it into a patch. My idea was that it could be used on a jacket or backpack, or you could add a pin to the back and wear it temporarily on a shirt or elsewhere. 

But what if you want to make your design more permanent? Is it possible to turn a piece of cross stitch into an iron-on design?

It turns out yes, it is, and Sirious Stitches has done it so I didn’t have to try to figure it out on my own. 

The way they did it was by using HeatnBond, an iron-on adhesive that attaches fabrics without sewing. There was still sewing involved to finish the edges of the cross stitch fabric and make it look like a purchased patch. The post shows how to do this by hand or with your sewing machine. (I just did blanket stitch edging on mine, which doesn’t look like a “real” patch but is also a lot faster.)

Once you have the patch prepared it’s a pretty easy matter of using the fusible adhesive to the back of the patch so you can then iron it onto whatever jacket, pair of jeans, bag or whatever else you might want to add it to. 

I guess I’m a little paranoid about the washability of cross stitch projects, though you could hand wash anything with an iron-on cross stitch patch as you might need to with a purchased iron-on patch, anyway. But this does look really cool and is a great option if you know you want to permanently add a cross stitch patch to a garment of bag. 

Get the full tutorial over at Sirious Stitches. Would you add an iron-on cross stitch patch to something? I’d love to hear what you would use this technique for!
