Pot of Gold St Patrick’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

by

Stitch up a bit of luck for St. Patrick’s Day or any other time of year with these pot of gold cross stitch patterns!

Get a little luck with this pot of gold luck stamp design from 123Stitch.com. It’s shown worked on plastic canvas but you could use regular fabric instead. It calls for 7 colors and measures 23 by 27 stitches. 

The rainbow on this pot of gold cross stitch pattern from Daily Cross Stitch reminds me of a Pride flag. The pattern is 64 by 80 stitches and uses 10 colors.

Stitch up a pot of gold with rainbow and shamrocks with this pattern from Vermont Stitchy Co. The pattern notes are low on details but it does say the finished design is 3.5 inches/8.89 cm square. 

Make a sweet sentiment for someone you love with a “You are my pot of gold” design like this one from Climbing Goat Designs. I love the rainbow on this one. It measures 85 by 85 stitches and fits in an 8 inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 13 colors. 

You’ll find the same sentiment on this design from Kait’s Crafting Corner. This one is 70 by 69 stitches and it looks like it uses 8 colors. 

Or go with “You are Golden” with this cute little design from The Happiest Hoop. This one fits in a 3 inch hoop on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave. It uses 10 colors and is 25 by 25 stitches. 

There’s a pot of gold included in this collection of Irish images from CrossStitch.com.You can jut pull out the pot of gold and/or the pot with the rainbow or stitch the full design, which comes to 111 by 124 stitches with 30 colors used. The pattern is designed by Susan Saltzgiver.

This last one is a little weird but it is cute so I wanted to include it. It’s a video from CrosStitcHelen on YouTube, and the video description includes a link to the pattern but the link isn’t working. I think that you could figure out the pattern from a screenshot of the finished image, or there’s a version of the chart shown at 2:39 in the video you could screenshot to stitch along.

Easy Fonts to Add to Your Cross Stitch

I don’t usually cross stitch text or add words to my cross stitch projects. Sometimes I will sign things using basic block lettering worked in backstitch (luckily my initials are pretty easy to stitch), but if you give your cross stitch as a gift or otherwise want to personalize it, adding text is a great way to go. 

But if a project didn’t already come with text, and you don’t want to draw your own, you’ll need a good cross stitch font that you can use for your project. 

I like collecting fonts that are easy to read and to stitch and that would be good for lots of different uses. 

For example I really like this bold alphabet font from Cross Stitch with Art, which has both capital and lowercase letters as well as numbers if you need them for dates or other information on your design. The capital letters are an inch/2.5 cm/14 stitches tall, which makes it easy to figure out how much space you need to leave for them. It’s a nice, basic, readable serif font you can use for lots of project. 

If you want a script font that’s still really readable, check out Magic Calligraphy from Soft Pattern Designs. This hand drawn font has upper case letters around 28 stitches tall, with lower case letters mostly being around 20 stitches (though the ones that go up or down a lot like f, p and y are bigger). The numbers also vary a bit in size but range from 25 to 29 stitches. 

Sometimes you just want a classic font that looks like sports lettering, and in that case you’re going to need Varsity, an all caps font from Stitch Mod. This one has letters that are 21 stitches tall, and it includes capital letters and numbers. But there are definitely times this one would come in handy!

Another sometimes useful and really cute font is this alphabet block letters alphabet from Stitch Junction. These letters are all upper case and look like classic building blocks, and there are also numbers available. This one would be perfect for a birth announcement project or some other cross stitch for the baby’s room.
