Small St. Patrick’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

February 18, 2025 by Sarah White

There are cross stitch patterns of all sizes and for all skill levels of most kinds of motifs you’d want to make, and while there are plenty of detailed projects to make for St. Patrick’s Day, sometimes you don’t have that kind of time. So let’s take a look at some little St. Patrick’s Day cross stitch patterns.

I love these little minis shown in tiny oval frames. The design is from Bella Rose Craft and they really look like they need to be little pendants to me. The bigger shamrock is 15 by 14 stitches, which is a little more than an inch square (2.5 cm) on 14 count fabric. The one with stems is 12 by 19 stitches which is a little less than an inch wide and 1.36 inches/3.5 cm tall. They are shown in 1.5 by 2 inch hoops.

These sweet gift takes would be fun to add to a St. Patrick’s Day treat or to use as greeting cards or bookmarks. Designed by Cross Stitch by Coconut, there are five designs to choose from. Each design is 25 by 40 stitches and to stitch all of them you will need 12 colors. I think the leprechaun cat is my favorite.

Speaking of cards, this design from Easy X Stitch Patterns includes four shamrocks with a Scottish plaid design. Not sure the Irish would approve of that, but it’s still cute. Each clover uses three colors and is 26 by 29 stitches.

Lardoargento Shop has a cute collection of six little St. Patrick’s Day patterns (the rainbow one is shown here). They also have a sheep, a pot of gold, two pints of beer, a leprechaun hat and a horseshoe. I love the little border around the designs, but you could leave it off to make the project smaller if you wanted. These are shown in 4-inch hoops.

While they are shown in one project here, the individual motifs from this design by Tidy Patterns would be fun to use individually on projects. Each one is about 60 by 60 stitches, so not as small as the other ones, but cute enough to be included here. The full project uses 20 colors.

This little sampler style St. Patrick’s Day cross stitch pattern runs a little less than 4 by 4 inches (that’s 10 cm) with a stitch count of 48 by 46. This green saltbox house and its hat wearing sheep use 13 colors, and the pattern is from The French Giraffe.

Designer Spotlight: TesLime Cross Stitch

If your cross stitch tastes run to anime, fantasy, Disney, gnomes and the like, you’ll want to check out TesLime Cross Stitch on Etsy. This Dublin-based Etsy shop boasts more than 1,000 cross stitch patterns, with a strong pop culture bent.

The largest category in the shop is Disney, and there’s a separate Disney princess category, so there’s nearly 300 Disney themed cross stitch patterns in all. Some of these are chibis but a lot of them are pretty direct copies of Disney characters. Do with that what you will.

There’s also a large fantasy section that’s heavy on Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, dragons, aliens and trolls. In the hero section you’ll find Star Wars, Harley Quinn and the Joker, the Avatar, and Marvel characters. And in anime, there’s lots of Pokemon, Attack on Titan and Ghibli-inspired designs, to name a few.

The thing that caught my eye in this shop wasn’t any of that, though. It was sardines.

There are actually several different patterns in this shop of cans of sardines. I don’t really know why, but they’re just so weird and silly that’s what I had to share. In particular this one, where the little fish are wearing little shirts. Why? Again, I don’t know, but it’s kind of cute, right?

This design is 100 by 130 stitches and uses 21 colors. It comes out to 7.14 by 9.29 inches, or 18.14 by 23.59 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric (the pattern includes measurements for some other counts, too, if you want to make it smaller).

And all of that barely scratches the surface. There are more than 100 Christmas cross stitch patterns (these are heavy on Disney, too). A steampunk raven. A large collection of gnomes.

I think you’re just going to have to go check it out for yourself and see what strikes you. If you end up buying one of their patterns, I’d love to hear what you chose! Check them out at www.etsy.com/shop/TesLimeArt on Etsy.
