Snow Globe Cross Stitch Patterns

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.

Book Review: Retro Christmas Cross Stitch

As a knitter, I love a good sheep motif, so let’s take a look at some cute sheep cross stitch patterns.

If you want to stitch a little sheep, this mini square from Good Dog Needleworks is a nice choice. It uses just three colors and measures 32 by 32 stitches. That’s 2.2 inches or about 5.5 cm square if you stitch it on 14 count fabric.

I also love these two little sheep, which you can stitch together or in individual hoops and shown. The designs are form Threadbound Art and use six colors. They are slightly different in size, with one being 21 by 17 stitches and the other 21 by 20. They fit in four inch frames if you work them on 14 count fabric.

You can stitch a sweet sheep bookmark with this design from Kits by SA Stitch. This is not for the person who doesn’t like back stitch, because there’s a lot of that here, but it is really cute. It measures 30 by 91 stitches and uses 10 colors. That will make your bookmark about 2.4 by 6.5 inches, or 6 by 16.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

Stitch a pretty scene of sheep in a meadow with this design from Motok Nytok. It uses 21 colors and the design is 99 by 73 stitches. On 14 count fabric that makes it about 7.07 by 5.21 inches, or 17.96 by 13.24 cm.

This yarn full of cross stitch sheep has a bit of a knitting twist because the sheep all look like they have sweaters on. The design is from Soda Stitch Design and it measures 179 by 216 stitches. The full design uses 27 colors. On 14 count fabric it will work out to 12.78 by 15.42 inches, or 32.48 by 39.19 cm.

Another great one with a knitting theme is this one where the wool is coming off the sheep and straight onto the needles. This one is from Happy Cross Stitchers and uses 12 colors. The pattern is 137 by 137 stitches, which comes out to 9.7 inches or 24.86 cm square on 14 count fabric. This would be a fun one to stitch for the knitter in your life (even if that is you).

Or you can stitch the field of sheep of a knitter’s dreams with the Happy Sheep chart from Charts and Stuff. These per-colored sheep can be stitched as shown or worked in any colors you like. The eyes are French knots but you can just stitch them in white if you’d rather.
