Quick Little Valentine’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Toy Story Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m going to go ahead and admit that I totally missed Toy Story 4, so it took my by surprise when Toy Story 5 came out, but let’s celebrate with some Toy Story cross stitch patterns. 

This sweet design including Woody, Buzz and Jessie is from The Xstitch Shop, and they actually have a few different Toy Story options. This one says it is for intermediate stitches, probably because of the size and number of colors, but the sales page doesn’t say how big it is or how many colors it uses. It’s still cute, though!

If you’ve got a fan of Jessie in your household, this collection of Jessie themed icons is super cute to stitch. The design is from Mercury Stitches and it measures 97 by 144 stitches. that comes out to 6.9 by 10.3 inches, or 17.6 by 26.1 cm, and uses 11 colors. It has full and half cross stitches, as well as back stitching and French knots. 

Share the love of friendship with this sweet Woody and Buzz heart hands cross stitch pattern from Pixell Patterns. This design uses eight colors and is shown worked on 14 count fabric, but the notes don’t indicate how bit is is (based on a finished project photo, though, it looks pretty big). 

And for the Buzz Lightyear fans, of course we have to have a “To infinity and beyond” pattern, so here’s one from Silver Lake Stitches. This design is super cute on blue fabric, but use whatever you have. It measures 78 by 92 stitches, which comes out to 5.6 by 6.6 inches, or 14.2 by 16.7 cm, on 14 count fabric. It calls for 14 colors. 

Or if you want to go beyond the core three main character toys, check out this project from ThreeOOne Patterns, which includes our main toys as well as Bo Peep and her sheep, Bullseye the horse, the Slinky dog, Rex, Ham, the Potato Heads and an alien. The design is 310 by 80 stitches, which comes out to 21.14 by 3.5 inches, or 53.7 by 8.9 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 65 colors. Or pick out your favorite characters to make a smaller project. 

All those characters and a few more are found on the mini Toy Story character sampler from Knotalot UK (only part of which is shown above). This one uses 31 colors and measures 134 by 108 stitches. It includes whole and fractional stitches, as well as back stitching. On 14 count fabric stitching the whole thing would make a project that’s 9.57 by 7.71 inches, or 24.31 by 19.59 cm.
