Christmas Nativity Scene Cross Stitch Patterns

If you want to stitch up a little something that’s religious for your Christmas decor, check out these nativity scene cross stitch patterns. Most of them are small enough you can still make them for this holiday if you want!

This tiny nativity scene from Create Make Do is very colorful, which makes it a lot of fun for a kids’ room or to place in a little hoop to hang on a Christmas tree. It measures 7 by 4 cm or 2.75 by 1.625 inches worked on 18 count fabric, which is perfect for a 4 inch/10 cm hoop. And most of it is not super traditional colors so you can use whatever floss you have on hand.

For a more traditional look that’s still on a small scale, try the small nativity pattern from Mistawis Stitches. This pretty design features Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the manger with a star above. It measures 50 by 50 stitches, or 3.5 inches square (almost 9 cm) on 14 count fabric.

A similar motif done in a different style is this one from Yvonne Sewing World. It’s just a little larger, at 53 by 53 stitches, which comes out to 3.8 inches or 9.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

The white on black design of this one from Digitizing Everythin is bold and a more modern look for your Christmas decor, but I really like it. You could also do different parts in different colors if you wanted to. The pattern includes measurements for different fabric types but on 14 count fabric it will measure 9 by 5.7 inches, or 22.86 by 14.5 cm.

Looking for a more detailed project? Crochetteagogo Shop has you covered with this pretty design. This one includes the holy family and an angel, along with some animals. It is 100 by 88 stitches, which comes out to a little more than 6 by 5.5 inches, or 16 by 14 cm using 32 count linen.

Stitch up something a little different for your Halloween decor with these Halloween sampler cross stitch patterns. From the traditional to the slightly offbeat, I think there’s something for almost everyone here.

This cute little sampler from Juko Patterns includes a haunted house, black cats, spiders, bats and pumpkins, a skeleton, crow and ghost among other delights. The design is 142 by 150 stitches and uses 7 colors. On 14 count fabric the design comes out to 10.1 by 10.7 inches or 25.8 by 27.2 cm.

ONESEO has a cute vintage style Halloween sampler with cats, pumpkins, ghosts, a witch, spider web, potion bottles and other cute designs. This would be a fun one to stitch as is or to pull out little details to use in different projects. Or both! As shown the design is 200 by 200 stitches and uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 14.3 inches square or 36.3 cm.

Another cute Halloween design is this October sampler from Sosae Caetano. This sweet design full of pumpkins, candy corn, ghosts and witch hats looks easy to stitch and comes out to 4.75 by 8 inches (that’s about 12 by 20 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes don’t say but it looks like it uses 7 colors.

This All Hallows Eve samplers form Autumn Andrea features an alphabet, a black cat, a few crows and pumpkins, and other elements like a cauldron, skeleton and owl. This one is a gigantic 437 by 352 stitches, which comes out to 31.21 by 25.14 inches, or 79.27 by 63.85 cm on 14 count fabric. It calls for 28 colors. If that all sounds like too much you could always just stitch a portion such as the cat or one of the crows to add to your Halloween display.

On the traditional but still kind of silly side of the spectrum, there’s this Plum Street Samplers design called Grim Gourds, featuring some grumpy looking pumpkins, a black bird and an alphabet. This one is a printed pattern sold by Hollis Hands Create, and the pattern measures 97 by 90 stitches and uses five colors.

The Colours of Halloween design from Stitchrovia never fails to make me smile and want to look closer. It features squares of different colors and patterns and their Halloween meaning, from a full moon to a magic potion, candy corn and slime. Such a fun idea! It measures 119 by 180 stitches, and uses 24 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.4 by 12. 9 inches, or 21.4 by 32.8 cm.
