Snowman Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Backpack Cross Stitch Patterns

These backpack cross stitch patterns aren’t like the backpacks you would use for school, but they might inspire you to go on a different sort of adventure, and pack your sense of humor. 

When it comes to funny cross stitch, this Adventure Awaits rubber ducky cross stitch pattern from Relaxing Hobby Studio is super cute. It uses nine colors and measures 52 by 75 stitches, which comes out to about 3.8 by 5.4 inches, or 9.7 by 13.8 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

I also love this little pigeon adventurer from Happy Cross Stitchers. Actually, with hoodie and sneakers this pigeon does look like he’s ready for school! This one measures 88 by 138 stitches and uses 13 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 6.2 by 9.8 inches, or 15.97 by 25.04 cm.

This sleepy cat is ready for an adventure as soon as they wake up from their nap. This sweet design from MoonLit Patterns features a kitty curled up on a backpack and wearing a knight’s helmet. This project uses 19 colors and measures 130 by 130 stitches. That makes it about 9.3 inches square, or 23.6 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up this backpack filled with flowers from Owl and Thread. This looks like just the bag you’d want to have for a walk in the forest or a spring meadow. The design is 71 by 90 stitches and uses 32 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to about 5 by 6.4 inches, or 12.9 16.3 cm.

I also like this kind of watercolor look girl with a backpack pattern from StitchALong Studios. You can change the color of hair and clothes as you like. As shown it uses 20 colors and is 90 by 132 stitches. That’s 6.375 by 9.375 inches, or 16 by 24 cm, if you work on 14 count fabric. 

If you’re looking for a design with more of a fall or winter look, check out this girl with a backpack wearing a hat and coat from GlamourXStitch. At 150 by 150 stitches, this one uses 26 colors. It comes out to 10.71 inches, or 27.2 cm, on 14 count fabric.
