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.

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.
