Snow Globe Cross Stitch Patterns

by

While some of these snow globe cross stitch designs have a bit of a Christmas feel to them, others could definitely get you through the rest of winter with time to still display them before spring comes along. 

On the more Christmasy side is this free pattern from DMC of a Christmas tree in a snow globe (you could always leave off the ornaments if you don’t want it to look so holiday). This one is designed to have lots of sparkle, worked on metallic fabric with some Light Effects thread, but you can keep it all standard thread and fabric and it would still be pretty. 

Santa and a snowman with Christmas trees are a few of the projects in this 11 pattern bundle of snow globe cross stitch patterns, but there are also plain trees, a cabin in the woods, a deer and a large snowflake that aren’t Christmas coded. This set of designs is from Cross Pattern Boutique, and they range a little in size but are so pretty you’ll want to stitch a few of them. 

The Christmas village snow globe pattern from Stitch Haus Studio Shop has a folk are feel and is a little Christmas but not so much that you couldn’t keep it on display after the holiday. The design uses 10 colors and comes out to 8.6 inches on each side (or 21.8 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

Stitch a peaceful cabin in the woods in a snow globe with this pretty pattern from The Merry Stitcher. This pattern is 56 by 52 stitches and comes out to 4 inches/10 cm across on 14 count fabric — perfect for a 5-inch hoop. 

Another pretty house in the woods pattern comes from Pin Inn Cross Stitch. While this one looks plenty cold and not that colorful, it still uses 38 colors in a stitch count of 218 by 243 stitches. That comes out to 15.6 by 17.4 inches, or 39.6 by 44.1 cm. Maybe you can finish it by next Christmas?

If you’re a fan of adorable animals in your cross stitch projects, check out this set of 20 patterns of cute animals in snow globes from Cute Patterns by Maria. They each have a little piece of holly on them but you could leave that off if you don’t want any Christmas feel (a couple of the animals are also wearing Santa hats). Each design is 40 by 45 stitches, and if you want to stitch all of them you’ll need 50 colors total.

Backpack Cross Stitch Patterns

These backpack cross stitch patterns aren’t like the backpacks you would use for school, but they might inspire you to go on a different sort of adventure, and pack your sense of humor. 

When it comes to funny cross stitch, this Adventure Awaits rubber ducky cross stitch pattern from Relaxing Hobby Studio is super cute. It uses nine colors and measures 52 by 75 stitches, which comes out to about 3.8 by 5.4 inches, or 9.7 by 13.8 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

I also love this little pigeon adventurer from Happy Cross Stitchers. Actually, with hoodie and sneakers this pigeon does look like he’s ready for school! This one measures 88 by 138 stitches and uses 13 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 6.2 by 9.8 inches, or 15.97 by 25.04 cm.

This sleepy cat is ready for an adventure as soon as they wake up from their nap. This sweet design from MoonLit Patterns features a kitty curled up on a backpack and wearing a knight’s helmet. This project uses 19 colors and measures 130 by 130 stitches. That makes it about 9.3 inches square, or 23.6 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up this backpack filled with flowers from Owl and Thread. This looks like just the bag you’d want to have for a walk in the forest or a spring meadow. The design is 71 by 90 stitches and uses 32 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 5 by 6.4 inches, or 12.9 16.3 cm.

I also like this kind of watercolor look girl with a backpack pattern from StitchALong Studios. You can change the color of hair and clothes as you like. As shown it uses 20 colors and is 90 by 132 stitches. That’s 6.375 by 9.375 inches, or 16 by 24 cm, if you work on 14 count fabric. 

If you’re looking for a design with more of a fall or winter look, check out this girl with a backpack wearing a hat and coat from GlamourXStitch. At 150 by 150 stitches, this one uses 26 colors. It comes out to 10.71 inches, or 27.2 cm, on 14 count fabric.
