Sock Themed Cross Stitch Patterns

I will admit this theme for a roundup, sock themed cross stitch patterns, is a little bit niche. But as a person who does a lot of different kinds of crafts, I love it when they can come together and overlap in different ways.

So when I saw the free pattern from Durene Jones cross stitch showing a sock missing a heel with the words “darn it,” I knew I had to share it. While holey socks happen to everyone, it’s particularly poignant to a person who knits, and especially to someone who has knit and darned a lot of socks. The design is 40 by 55 stitches and uses six colors in the cross stitch as well as black backstitching.

But I didn’t think one sock related cross stitch pattern was enough, so I went looking for more.

I found “You knock my socks of” from Nerdy Little Stitcher on Etsy, which features a happy little pair of socks you can stitch in whatever color you like. (Note: as of this writing the product description on the sales page is incorrect, so I can’t give you any details for sure.)

If you like your patterns printed, you can go old school to get a copy of this Sock Knitter cross stitch pattern from October House Fiber Arts. I love the little socks on the line, and you can make them whatever colors and patterns you like. Since I’ve designed socks I’d love to make this pattern with socks that look like socks I’ve actually made! It’s 107 by 63 stitches and uses six colors.

Or you can get a little sarcastic about socks with this printed pattern, designed by Imaginating and sold at 123 Cross Stitch. This black and white design declares that some days are just socks. You can decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Alrighty then, folks! We’ve reached the end of this fabulously cozy roundup of Sock Themed Cross Stitch Patterns.

Designer Spotlight: Durene J Cross Stitch

Last fall I came across this cross stitch pattern for a sea turtle and I talked myself out of sharing it right away because tropical animals don’t feel like a “fall” thing, but now that it’s summer again, let’s take a look at some cross stitch patterns for creatures that live in or around the sea.

This sea turtle design from Witch Wolf Web Creations is literally just a chart with no grid to help you count stitches or suggested colors, but I would print it out and add a grid to make it easier to stitch. You can work it in many colors as shown, or there’s also a black and white version so you could just do it in a single color.

Stitch up some fish or a seahorse with this bundle of four tropical fish cross stitch patterns from LaSelva Design. It includes a clownfish, seahorse, moorish idol and blue tang, all of which vary in size and colors used, but they’re all really cute.

Or you can stitch a tank’s worth of tropical fish with this project from SamXstitch. There are 22 fish in all on this project, which measures 153 by 153 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm. It uses 15 colors.

I also love the jewel-toned fishies on this project from Velvet Pony Design. This one has seven fish and a seahorse and measures 113 by 140 stitches. That’s just over 8 by 10 inches or 20.5 by 25.4 cm on 14 count fabric, though you can make it smaller with a higher fabric count. It calls for 24 colors.

This vintage design from Past Pattern Palooza Co has a whole school of little fish. The design is 120 by 260 stitches and uses 30 colors. It measures 8.57 by 18.57 inches (21.7 by 47.2 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes say there are 69 designs in total, an individual fish range from 1.5 to 3 inches, or 4.5 to 8 cm.

You can stitch up a whole tropical world complete with coral using this design from Easy Stitching Outlet (though I don’t think this one is particularly easy). At 219 by 95 stitches, on 14 count fabric it will come out to 15.6 by 6.8 inches, or 39.73 by 17.24 cm.
