Stitch a Rubber Duckie to Decorate Your Bathroom

If you want to stitch up a little something that’s religious for your Christmas decor, check out these nativity scene cross stitch patterns. Most of them are small enough you can still make them for this holiday if you want!

This tiny nativity scene from Create Make Do is very colorful, which makes it a lot of fun for a kids’ room or to place in a little hoop to hang on a Christmas tree. It measures 7 by 4 cm or 2.75 by 1.625 inches worked on 18 count fabric, which is perfect for a 4 inch/10 cm hoop. And most of it is not super traditional colors so you can use whatever floss you have on hand.

For a more traditional look that’s still on a small scale, try the small nativity pattern from Mistawis Stitches. This pretty design features Mary, Joseph and Jesus in the manger with a star above. It measures 50 by 50 stitches, or 3.5 inches square (almost 9 cm) on 14 count fabric.

A similar motif done in a different style is this one from Yvonne Sewing World. It’s just a little larger, at 53 by 53 stitches, which comes out to 3.8 inches or 9.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

The white on black design of this one from Digitizing Everythin is bold and a more modern look for your Christmas decor, but I really like it. You could also do different parts in different colors if you wanted to. The pattern includes measurements for different fabric types but on 14 count fabric it will measure 9 by 5.7 inches, or 22.86 by 14.5 cm.

Looking for a more detailed project? Crochetteagogo Shop has you covered with this pretty design. This one includes the holy family and an angel, along with some animals. It is 100 by 88 stitches, which comes out to a little more than 6 by 5.5 inches, or 16 by 14 cm using 32 count linen.
