Snowman Cross Stitch Patterns

One of the problems with a lot of Christmas crafts is that they feel like holiday decorations that need to go away as soon as the holiday is over. And in the depths of winter, we’d rather keep the cheery things out a little longer, right? That’s where these snowman cross stitch patterns come in.

They fit in fine with your holiday decor but you can also leave them out as long as there’s cold weather.

This sweet little snowman with a cup of coffee and a pine bough is super cute and pretty easy to stitch. It comes from My Lovely Embroidery NB, and measures 52 by 63 stitches. That’s 3.71 by 4.5 inches or 9.43 by 11.43 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 19 colors.

These peeking snowmen from Rina Stitch are super silly and would be great stitched on a pillow or in a long narrow frame to put on the mantle. The pattern is 120 by 59 stitches, which comes out to 8.57 by 4.21 inches or 21.77 by 10.7 cm when you use 14 count fabric. This one calls for 22 colors.

If you’re just here for the snow, you’ll want to stitch this trio of fashionable snowfolk from Piccola Parigi. It uses 15 colors and measures 187 by 129 stitches. That’s about 13.36 by 9.21 inches (34 by 23.4 cm) when worked on 14 count fabric, but the pattern includes measurements for other counts if you want to make it smaller or larger.

Kits by SAStitch has this adorable snowman holding and candy cane, and looking very dapper while doing it. I love this one because it feels like it would fit right in with Christmas things but would also be nice to have out all season. This piece is 55 by 70 stitches, which is 3.9 by 4.9 inches or 10 by 13 cm on 14 count fabric.

And if you want to bring a little humor to your winter stitching, check out this one from Sweet Annet which tells you exactly how snowflakes are made. This one uses 23 colors and measures 5.o7 by 4.29 inches, or 12.88 by 10.89 cm on 14 count, with a stitch count of 71 by 60.

20+ Chirstmas Snowman To Cross Stitch

That headline pretty much describes the Under the Sea cross stitch pattern from Una Buena Pieza, which is covered with shells, fish and other creatures of the sea. It’s not intended to be an I spy, I don’t think, and most of the same kinds of animals are grouped together, but I think it would be fun for someone who didn’t stitch it to look and see what different things they can find within.

The pattern includes turtles, jellyfish, a whale, shark, ray, all sorts of fish and shells and I’m sure other things that I’m not noticing right now. Dolphins! Coral! Seagulls!

It looks like it would be super fun to stitch and fun to have on the wall during the summer months, or even hang in a kid’s room if you know a young one who loves the beach or ocean animals.

The design is 110 by 220 stitches. It comes out to about 8 by 16 inches, or 20 by 40 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. It calls for 19 colors.

This design looks great on light blue fabric as shown, but in the pattern listing on Etsy you’ll also see what it looks like on a darker blue and a white fabric, and they all look pretty good so you can use whatever color you like to suit your decor or your idea of what color the “ocean” should be. There’s even a customer photo that looks like it was done on a sort of tie-dyed green fabricc, which is really fun.

However you stitch it, I think this project would go faster than you imagine because there are so many fun little things to stitch. It will be hard to get bored when you can just move on to a different animal or part of the design.
