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.

Valentine&’s Day Word Art Cross Stitch Pattern

Artmishka Cross Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Italy with lots of whimsical and colorful designs and an emphasis on animals, flowers and landscapes. Let’s take a closer look!

The animal section is by far the largest, and it includes everything from realistic birds to cartoony cats, a set of little chick ornaments for Easter and a blackwork butterfly, to name a few. There are little animals in clothes and scarves, and this sweet folk art style owl in modern colors.

This one (and lots of them, really, I think) was designed as nursery decor, and it calls for 10 colors, which you can of course change up to suit your decor, nursery or otherwise. The design is 95 by 95 stitches, which comes out to about 7 inches or 18 cm square on 14 count fabric or 28 count evenweave stitched over two strands.

Another large category is flowers, which includes birth month flower designs, flowers that look hand drawn and colored, floral wreaths with teapots and wedding floral cross stitch designs.

The sampler section includes a variety of small patterns, images with words, colorful geometric and floral designs, and a few holiday patterns. Christmas designs include stamps, Christmas trees, stocking, snowmen and a cute box of snowflake shaped Christmas cookies in a box with a mug of hot chocolate, to name a few designs.

There are also a fair number of designs in both the landscape and cottage categories. These include iconic landmarks and colorful sunsets, and buildings from beach houses to a mushroom cottage, book shop and a cottage with flowers bursting out of the roof. There’s also a section called girl, which has designs of a little girl in different outfits and situations and some other characters.

Other categories on the site with smaller numbers of patterns include boy designs, princesses, plants, hobby themed designs (sewing, knitting, baking), art and bookmarks. There are also a handful of cross stitch kits, all of the little girl character.
