Poppy Cross Stitch Patterns for Anzac Day

April 12, 2024 by Sarah White

Anzac Day is marked each year on April 25 as a reminder of the battle of Gallipoli, a conflict against the Ottoman Turks in 1915 that resulted in the deaths of more than 8,000 Australian soldiers. Anzac is a nickname for the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, and the day serves as a memorial for all Australians killed in military operations (similar to Memorial Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world).

As is traditional in some other countries, poppies are used as a symbol of remembrance, and there are many lovely poppy cross stitch patterns, whether specific to Anzac Day or otherwise, that would be meaningful to stitch for this day.

This Anzac Day cross stitch pattern from String Theory by McG features poppies, a kangaroo and a kiwi.

Stitch the Anzac Ode with a bugle player in a field of poppies with this design from Paddock Lane Designs. It measures 251 by 350 stitches, which comes out to 15.7 by 21.4 inches/39.8 by 54.4 cm on 16 count fabric.

More generally, PDFSTGStitchUK has a Lest we Forget design with a soldier in front of a cross with poppies. It measures 140 by 138 stitches so it’s almost 10 inches/25.5 cm square when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a Lest we Forget bookmark with a similar design from Purple Pansy XS. It comes out to 1.7 by 7 inches/4.3 by 17.8 cm on 16 count fabric. It uses full and three-quarter stitches as well as backstitching details. 

This pretty poppy would be another good one to stitch for Anzac Day or Remembrance Day. It’s from Honeyeater Crafts and measures 119 by 220 stitches and uses 18 colors. Using 14 count fabric it comes out to 8.5 by 15.7 inches, or 21.6 by 39.9 cm.

If you’re looking for more poppies, I’ve collected some poppy cross stitch patterns before, and this one was shared by itself but it’s still really pretty, with a bit of a watercolor feel, and worth sharing again.

Labubu Cross Stitch Patterns

For some reason I missed out on the beginning of the Labubu trend (my teen isn’t into it) but now that I’m seeing it everywhere it seems like a good time to look into Labubu cross stitch patterns. 

These creepy cute little monsters show up in all sorts of cute outfits, which makes them fun to stitch for a Labubu lover of any age. 

In cross stitch the pink Labubu seems to show up the most often. You can stitch up this one with a slightly sinister face from MK Cross Stitch Shop. This one is 23 by 43 stitches and uses eight colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 1.64 by 3.07 inches, or 4.17 by 7.8 cm. 

There’s also this fuzzy little monster from Alya Cross Stitch, which uses six colors on a project that’s 100 by 169 stitches. 

Or try this lovely little Labubu with a flower in its hair. This one is by Stitch Heart UA, and would be perfect for a little kid’s room or as a decoration for spring. It measures 93 by 128 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 92. inches/16.9 by 23.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and 5 blends.

If you want to just stitch the faces, I like this collection of Labubu heads to cross stitch in different pastel colors. This design from Stitched by Sophie AUS has 23 colors and measures 120 stitches square. That comes out to about 8.6 inches or 22 cm square on 14 count fabric. 

Or you can make a little collection of different characters with this set from Sampler Cross Stitch. Stitch one or stitch them all. Each one is 30 by 60 stitches, or 2.57 by 4.57 inches/6.5 by 11.6 cm. 

How about a Halloween themed Labubu? I love this one from Handiwork of Natalie, who also has some other themed Labubu cross stitch patterns. This one is 66 by 99 stitches and uses 12 colors. It suggests cross stitch fabric that’s 4.75 by 7 inches or 12 by 18 cm.
