Stitch Up Some Ice Cream that Won’t Melt

by

 

Looking for something cool to stitch for summer? Why not make an ice cream treat that won’t melt in the summer sun. Looking for DMC Threads Check out DMC’s website

Here are some fun free cross stitch patterns for ice cream. Enjoy!

Check out these Free Icecream sundae on DMC  and this Fun Rainbow icecream pattern

About.com Needlepoint has a fun chart for a swirly ice cream cone, which you can work in different colors to represent different flavors.

Jessica Tromp has a great collection of ice cream treats in bowls and cones, as well as some candy and fun, fruity beverages for summer as well.

There’s another sweet collection of ice cream in cones and on sticks at El blog de DMC. It’s possible this is available in English somewhere (this site is in Spanish), but you don’t really need words to understand the charts.

This Strawberry Ice Cream and flan chart from Kandi Patterns is actually for making with Perler beads, but it works for cross stitch, too. So does the ice cream friendship bracelet pattern from Bracelet Book.

And while this one is not free, isn’t the ice cream drips cross stitch pattern from Daily Cross Stitch adorable?

Labubu Cross Stitch Patterns

For some reason I missed out on the beginning of the Labubu trend (my teen isn’t into it) but now that I’m seeing it everywhere it seems like a good time to look into Labubu cross stitch patterns. 

These creepy cute little monsters show up in all sorts of cute outfits, which makes them fun to stitch for a Labubu lover of any age. 

In cross stitch the pink Labubu seems to show up the most often. You can stitch up this one with a slightly sinister face from MK Cross Stitch Shop. This one is 23 by 43 stitches and uses eight colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 1.64 by 3.07 inches, or 4.17 by 7.8 cm. 

There’s also this fuzzy little monster from Alya Cross Stitch, which uses six colors on a project that’s 100 by 169 stitches. 

Or try this lovely little Labubu with a flower in its hair. This one is by Stitch Heart UA, and would be perfect for a little kid’s room or as a decoration for spring. It measures 93 by 128 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 92. inches/16.9 by 23.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and 5 blends.

If you want to just stitch the faces, I like this collection of Labubu heads to cross stitch in different pastel colors. This design from Stitched by Sophie AUS has 23 colors and measures 120 stitches square. That comes out to about 8.6 inches or 22 cm square on 14 count fabric. 

Or you can make a little collection of different characters with this set from Sampler Cross Stitch. Stitch one or stitch them all. Each one is 30 by 60 stitches, or 2.57 by 4.57 inches/6.5 by 11.6 cm. 

How about a Halloween themed Labubu? I love this one from Handiwork of Natalie, who also has some other themed Labubu cross stitch patterns. This one is 66 by 99 stitches and uses 12 colors. It suggests cross stitch fabric that’s 4.75 by 7 inches or 12 by 18 cm.
