Pretty Snowflake Cross Stitch Patterns

December 12, 2024 by Sarah White

Last year I did a roundup of snowflake cross stitch patterns, but I barely scratched the surface of what is available, so here are a few more patterns for you to try!

If you like a fancy snowflake cross stitch pattern, try this one from AOK Corral. There are five different snowflakes in the pattern and they are meant to be stitched with seed beads for extra bling. Or you could try using metallic thread if you’d rather.

There’s something about white snowflakes stitched on a dark blue background that just makes them look that much prettier. This collection of five hoops from Lagodargentoshop gives you plenty of options for adding cross stitch to your winter decor. Each design fits in a 4-inch hoop (one is shown above; click through to see all the options).

Looking for a variety of snowflakes you can stitch into a hoop sampler style? This collection from Jennifer’s Little World has 15 options and she also has a pattern with them worked in a hoop if you want to go that route. Individual snowflakes would be cute stitched on napkins or used as a border on another project, too.

Cinnamon Stitching has a pretty snowflake worked in three different colors, and while it calls for light effects thread you could use whatever thread you have on hand instead. At 43 by 43 stitches, it measure 3 inches/7.7 cm square, perfect for displaying in a 4-inch hoop.

Of course any snowflakes can be stitched in any color you like, but I wanted to share some stitched in different colors just to give you some ideas. Red snowflakes are a classic, especially if your decor has Scandinavian flair, and this one from Crossy Foxy is darling (I love the gingham ribbon with it, too).

Or you can go with a less traditional but still pretty color like the ones in this kit from Stitch Happy Store. The kit includes supplies to make one full hoop but the patterns for all three options shown. You can choose peach, mustard or plum thread and will also receive coordinating velvet ribbon to use as a hanger for display purposes.

How to Add Text to a Cross Stitch Project

One of the easiest ways to make a cross stitch project more personal is to add text to it. Whether you’re adding the names of people getting married to a generic floral cross stitch design, birth information to a project on theme with the new baby’s room or just adding a word or phrase that’s meaningful to you, adding words to cross stitch projects make them that much more special. 

But if you’re not working with a project that already has text built in, or you want to change the text that’s there, that can feel a little daunting. 

Caterpillar Cross Stitch has a great guide to adding names and words (as well as numbers) to projects, which talks you through what to consider and how to actually go about adding text to a cross stitch project successfully. 

You’ll need to think about what kind of font you want to use and if you’re using back stitched letters or larger filled letters, how much space you need and how the letters work together in the text you’re planning to make sure it’s readable. 

Their post includes common pitfalls such as running out a space or ending up with text that’s off center and how to avoid them (spoiler: chart out your text before you stitch!). 

The whole post is really helpful if you’ve never added lettering to a project before and don’t know where to start. I like to use block letters in back stitch when learning how to add text to cross stitch, but of course there are tons of lettering options. Check out this collection of cross stitch fonts if you want to see some different things you can try. 

And head over to Caterpillar Cross Stitch to get more tips for how to successfully add lettering to your cross stitch projects. They also have their own alphabet and number charts you can buy to add text to your stitching. 

Have you ever added text to a cross stitch project? I’d love to hear how it went!
