Summer Cupcakes Free Cross-Stitch Pattern

May 31, 2023 by Sarah White

This sweet cross-stitch design will definitely brighten up your kitchen interior. It features nine lovely cupcakes and each one is unique – which one would you enjoy most?

The free pattern designed by Alisa Okneas uses 21 colors of the DMC color palette, and it is suggested to be worked on 14-count fabric.

The finished design measures 110 by 125 stitches.

The free digital PDF pattern is available from Wizardi. They call it brownies because the cake is chocolate, but of course, you can make the cake, frosting, decorations and cups any color that you like.

And while the design is such that all nine patterns are meant to be one finished piece, you could also stitch them up individually. Put them in little frames around the kitchen, stitch them onto aprons to wear while you are baking (or cloth napkins for your tea party), make them into greeting cards, or whatever you like!

Because each of the cakes and the cups has different designs, you can also mix and match them to make a variety of different patterns if you want more or different designs than the ones shown. And of course, you can change the colors to suit your decor as well.

Looking for more cute summer-inspired cross-stitch patterns? Check out this collection of summer samplers and mini cross stitch patterns. Or stitch up a design inspired by the beach. Enjoy!

Book Review: The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection

If you’re looking for a ton of easy cross stitch designs to use for Christmas projects, look no further than Claire Crompton’s The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection, which includes more than 500 charts for tiny stockings, angels, ornaments and much more. 

The book covers the materials you’ll use to create the projects, how to add beads and other embellishments, stitching techniques and instructions for finishing projects shown in the book. 

You’ll find ideas for using the patterns such as making greeting cards, ornaments, wall hangings, napkin rings and patches, as well as ideas for adding stitching to ready made or semi-homemade gifts. There are also tips for framing and hanging projects, making an advent calendar and designing your own Christmas sampler. 

The charts are arranged by theme like Christmas classics (bells, horns and candles), garlands including stockings and mittens, Christmas carols, advent motifs with numbers to make your own calendar, St. Nicholas, nativity projects, snowmen, Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes and snow themed projects, Shaker-style Christmas designs, Santa’s helpers and reindeer, tree decorations, snowy scenes, robins and other birds, angels, Christmas trees, penguins, baby’s first Christmas, Victorian-inspired designs, sweets and treats, Christmas flowers, child themed patterns, stitches for gift tags, fairies, bears both teddy and otherwise, 12 days of Christmas patterns, projects to work on linens for the table, sentiments for cards or other projects, and several sets of alphabets and numbers you can use to design your own projects. 

There’s a really cute parcel alphabet that has the letters on presents and there are also elves and a Santa worked in, which would be cute for a project for a child or to make a sign for your house. 

Patterns are shown several to a page with one key for all of the projects. The projects don’t say how big they are so you’ll have to count stitches on the chart and figure out how big they will be based on the fabric you are using. 

Still, this is a nice, large collection of holiday themed cross stitch designs, which is great for people who like stitching projects big and small for Christmas. 

About the book: 112 pages, paperback, published 2026 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
