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

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it.

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe).

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm.

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space).

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year.

If cute and dark is your aesthetic, you’ll want to check out all the patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HauntedFrames, which you can find on Etsy.
