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. It’s been a wild ride filled with stitches, threads, and a whole lot of socky goodness.

Stitching Elf Store is a small Etsy shop based in Ukraine with patterns that tend toward the floral, with lots of Christmas patterns and a few cats along the way, too.

The largest category in the shop is “flowery pattern,” which includes floral designs, samplers and a few seasonal projects with text. I liked this Enchanted Poppies design because it reminds me of the colors of Ukraine.

The pattern is 68 by 145 stitches and uses 24 colors, thanks to the kind of watercolor effect of the petals and leaves. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 4.9 by 10.4 inches, or 12.3 by 26.3 cm.

Another large collection is Christmas patterns, which is heavy on sampler style designs, a couple of Christmas trees with different designs in the layers, some Christmas-themed biscornu patterns and a stocking with a chat and a bird on it.

Other pattern highlights include a scattering of Valentine’s Day, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter patterns. The simply flowers series includes large, graphic flowers in bold colors. There are two sampler projects with a bird and a cat along with traditional flowers, and the purr cats patterns include larger cats with big, fluffy tails and more big, bold flowers.

I particularly like the St. Patrick’s Day designs that feature shamrocks and thistles and Irish blessings. They’re traditional looking but also different enough to be interesting, if that makes sense.

You’ll also find a few more biscornu patterns (see more about biscornu here) and a couple of Ukrainian floral bookmarks.

The patterns are pretty, with a mix of traditional designs and more modern designs. Give them a look over at Stitching Elf Store on Etsy.
