Snowflake Cross Stitch Patterns

November 17, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

I know it might not be feeling all that wintry where you are (we typically go back and forth a lot before it decides to solidly be winter where I live sometime in December) but if you want to tempt fate it might be time to start cross stitching some snowflakes.

Snowflakes are generally pretty easy cross stitch patterns for beginners because they usually are symmetrical and often only use one color. If you’re stitching with white thread you can play with the color of your fabric for a different look.

Small snowflakes can be made into ornaments for the tree or used as reusable gift tags on gifts.

Cathy Bussi’s snowflake Christmas tree is really cute (and could have fit into my roundup of Christmas tree cross stitch patterns the other day) and uses 10 different colors to make the snowflakes on a light blue background.  It’s 87 by 102 stitches, or about 6.2 by 7.3 inches when worked on 14 count fabric.

Make it with Heart has a collection of three simple and free snowflake cross stitch patterns, which they show on black fabric for a lot of contrast.  The small one fits a 3-inch hoop, so it would be perfect as an ornament.

This super simple pattern from American Crafty Lass on Etsy would be a great project for a new stitcher. It uses five colors but each of the snowflake shapes is really simple, and you can stitch them as shown or individually on different projects.

I love this simple but effective flurry of snowflakes from Lu’s Cross Stitch Shop on Etsy. Worked in a single color with cross stitch and backstitching, these individual flakes could be used on a gift tag, greeting card or bookmark as well. As shown, the full pattern fits in a 6-inch hoop.

Wild Bluebell Patterns on Etsy has a collection of little snowflakes it shows with a red background and in individual hoops. You can stitch up the whole set of nine and frame them together, or do several all on one piece of fabric if you’d rather.

Needle ‘n Thread has a cute, free folk-inspired snowflake pattern that’s perfect for the corner of a napkin or the border of another project. It’s meant to be stitched on plain weave fabric, and the pattern includes tips for how to go about doing that.

Here are more snowflake cross stitch patterns I’ve shared through the years if you need more inspiration!

Mini Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns

I love mini cross stitch patterns any time of the year, but they’re especially nice as we head toward the holidays and you might want to make some last-minute gifts. Mini Christmas cross stitch patterns are super cute as ornaments, or you can make them into bookmarks, little pins, add them to napkins, or whatever else you might like to add a bit of cross stitch to.

They’re also great because they’re usually sold as a set so you’re getting a bunch of patterns you can use together or separately all in one.

For example, Cross Stitch by Coconut has a collection of 100 mini holiday cross stitch patterns, which would be so cute stitched as a whole bunch in a sampler style, or as the border of another project, etc. Most of the individual designs are around 20 by 20 stitches and will take less than an hour to stitch up.

If 100 patterns sounds a little overwhelming, try Stitchonomy‘s mini collection, which has 30 tiny designs. I love the variety in this little collection, which has everything from Santa to a mug of hot chocolate, a Christmas pudding and a snow globe. The largest ones in this set are 31 by 31 stitches.

Purple Kitty Yarns has a collection from an old Coats & Clark leaflet designed by Barbara Swanson (and used by permission) that includes a couple of cute borders, ornaments, a wreath and other cute stuff.

These minis from Cross Stitch Inn Shop are meant to be ornaments, but you could use them for other little projects as well. It includes 16 patterns, all of which are smaller than 2 inches. The most complex ones use seven colors, but most only use two or three.

And these cute little projects from X Cross Stitch Pattern X on Etsy are all meant to fit in three-inch hoops. The largest size is around 35 by 35 stitches, and several of these are more winter than Christmas so you can use them as decor even after the season is over.
