Quick Little Valentine’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

After talking about mini cross-stitch patterns the other day, I decided to look around for some small Valentine’s Day cross stitch patterns that would be quick and easy to stitch.

Whether you just started stitching or just want a fun little project that will be done in a flash, these Valentine’s Day projects are perfect.

Floss & Fleece has a cute little collection of hearts and arrows and shows how to use them to make hair clips and necklace pendants. These free patterns are shown on a chart you can grab from the website.

Cross Me Not has a little free love letter cross stitch pattern that would be cute to add to a collection or on a Valentine card. If you stitch it on white fabric it will take no time at all.

Since I brought them up again, Teeny Weeny XStitch has Valentine’s Day minis, too. This set includes 20 little designs, each of which individually is smaller than 3 inches. The whole sampler is 219 by 221 stitches, or 15.6 by 15.8 inches/39.7 by 40.1 cm on 14 count fabric, and uses 51 colors.

These little gift tags from FUDA Stitch would also make cute cards. Each design is 28 by 42 stitches and comes out to 2 by 3 inches on 14 count fabric, perfect for adding to a little tag or card. The pattern includes five designs.

This free camper pattern from Kari Sweeten on U Create Crafts is super cute and you could make it in different colors with different symbols for different seasons if you want.

I feel like I have maybe shared these before, but the ombre hearts from Little Lovelies are worth sharing again and again because it’s such a simple and effective project. This would be a fun project to play with thread blending on, too. (This would also be fun for a project like my Valentine’s day bookmark.)

And if you want hearts with different styles, Aliton Embroidery has a set of three little heart cross stitch patterns. Each one fits in a 3-inch hoop and uses three colors.

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
