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.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
