Stardew Valley Cross Stitch Patterns

So many people love the game Stardew Valley, and lot of cross stitch patterns have been inspired by the villages, animals and other aspects of the game. Let’s take a look at some cute Stardew Valley cross stitch patterns.

Let’s start by getting the lay of the land with this Stardew Valley map cross stitch pattern from Not Another Stitcher. The pattern is 308 by 188 stitches. The pattern listing doesn’t indicate how many colors are used, but I’m guessing it’s a lot. It does say they are all whole stitches.

There are lots of cute characters in the game that you can stitch. If you want a little sampler of some of the villagers, check out this pattern from Pixel and Node Com. If I can count right it uses 35 colors and it measures 75 by 111 stitches, which comes out to 5.36 by 7.93 inches/13.6 by 20.1 cm.

Want more options? Pale Garden Store has a larger collection of Stardew Valley villagers to stitch, with 36 characters. Stitch the whole bunch or just choose your favorites to make a smaller project.

Speaking of lots of options, this collection of Stardew Valley animals and symbols includes more than 100 designs for everything from ducks to cows, multiple positions for cats to be in and emotes to make them expressive. The patterns are from Vital Wonder.

Stitch up some rainbow colored Junimos along with leaves and a flower in this design from Okhami Studios. The design is 100 by 100 stitches and uses 30 colors. If worked on 14-count fabric it will fit in a 9-inch frame.

You can create scenes from Stardew Valley in every season with a set of designs from Fancy Foxglove. Each is sold separately but there’s one for each season featuring the world around your little house. Shown here is summer, with oranges and butterflies in the trees. You have the option of stitching a cat or a dog on the bench. The design is 128 by 127 stitches and uses 47 colors. On 18-count fabric it comes out to about 7 inches/18 cm square.

When you put all the time and energy you do into making a great cross stitch project, it’s worth taking the time to frame it in a way that will make it look its best.

Often for smaller designs we’ll choose to frame projects in a hoop, which is cute and a fine option, especially for seasonal projects you might want to change out through the year. Others will send their finished projects for professional framing, which is a great option for gifts and heirloom items that need to be preserved, but it can also be quite expensive.

Crewel Ghoul has a great tutorial for a way that you can easily frame your cross stitch projects at home with just a few supplies.

She uses adhesive mounting board (but you can use non-adhesive board if you have some one hand or you need a size that’s not available in an adhesive version) and a few other basic supplies to secure the sides and corners of the cross stitch fabric around the board before putting the design in the frame.

This requires a bit of hand sewing, but we’re cross stitchers so I’m sure we can handle that.

Framing your cross stitch like this gives it a little padding in the frame, which makes it look better than if it were just flat in a frame with no special finishing. It’s also a great idea to use a frame without glass or to leave the glass out of the frame so it doesn’t crush your stitches.

And though this is super secure it’s not 100 percent permanent if you decide you don’t want the project framed in that way any more. Or you can take it out of the frame and the edges are still all nicely finished so you can display it a different way without having to do anything else to it.
