Silly Goose Cross Stitch Patterns

At the end of last year I sat in on a crafting trends webinar and one of the things that was mentioned that was going to be trending this year was ducks and geese. I don’t know if I’m seeing it because they said it or if there really are more ducks and geese around this year, but let’s celebrate the goose with these cute goose cross stitch patterns.

A lot of goose cross stitch patterns have a vintage look that is very much and 1980s kitchen wallpaper throwback. Like this one, designed by Summer McDonald and sold by Mary Stitching. It uses 12 colors and measures 197 by 185 stitches, which on 14 count fabric comes out to 14.1 by 13.2 inches, or 35.7 by 33.6 cm.

Another classic look one is this goose with a checked border offered by luzatolye. At 40 by 38 stitches, this little goose cross stitch pattern measures 2.8 by 2.7 inches, or about 7 cm almost square. It looks like it uses 5 colors.

Or how about geese with kerchiefs? This trio from Callie’s Cozy Crafts is billed (hah!) as French, but they look like little grannies to me. Either way, the pattern is 168 by 70 stitches, uses 6 colors and comes out to 12 by 5 inches, or 30.7 by 12.7 cm, on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a goose in galoshes (and a little bow) from Nala and Stitch. This little cutie is dressed in blue, but the designer also has a goose in yellow accessories including a straw hat if you’d rather. This one is 51 by 80 stitches and uses 11 colors. On 14 counte fabric it will measure 3.5 by 5.9 inches (9 by 15 cm).

If you’d rather a shoeless goose, another variation on the theme has just the bow. This one is by Calm Stitch Studio, and I love the little stitched frame and stripes around the goose, almost like he’s already hanging on the wall. At 92 by 141 stitches, this one comes out to 6.57 by 10 inches or 16.69 by 25.58 cm and uses 17 colors.

For a goose with a more natural setting, try this one from Olha Craft, which also has flowers and a ladybug. This one is 46 by 46 stitches (that’s about 3.3 inches or 8.35 cm square) and uses 9 colors.
