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.

The cross stitcher behind the blog Sirious Stitches is quite into biscornu.

If you’re not, a quick primer: biscornu are three-dimensional cross-stitched objects with eight points, often with an indention in the middle that makes them look a bit like doughnuts without the hole. They can be just about any size and subject you can think of. They’re often used as pincushions but can also be seasonal decor or just decoration for any time of year.

I’ve got a collection of biscornu cross stitch patterns here.

Once you’ve stitched one or several (they are a little addicting) you might wonder what you can add to them to make them even more extra.

It very much depends on the design of your biscornu and the look you are going for, but Sirious Stitches has a great post all about some of the options you might consider.

I don’t want to give you the whole list because you need to go visit and see all of their great biscornu they’ve stitched, but one really easy thing that you can do with a lot of designs is take advantage of that center indent by adding a button, beads, silk flower or another embellishment.

This is great to do just with a basic button from your stash that coordinates with the design and colors of the cross stitching, but it’s extra fun if you have a button that’s on theme, such as a leaf for a fall biscornu or a flower shaped button for a floral design. Add a jingle bell to a Christmas pattern, or a charm if you don’t have a button that coordinates.

Just this one idea is sure to get you thinking about ways to embellish biscornu (not to mention other cross stitch projects) but head over to Sirious Stitches to see all of their ideas for embellishing biscornu to make these already fun projects even more fun.

Have you ever made biscornu? I’d love to hear about it!
