Tea Cross Stitch Patterns

by

It wasn’t intentional that I shared a coffee-related pattern in my latest designer spotlight and then had a collection of tea cross stitch patterns for my next post. But I imagine we could all use all the caffeine we can get, so let’s dig into these fun tea patterns!

I love this witchy watercolor tea pattern (it could also be coffee, who can say?) and think it would be a great one to stitch up for a tea or coffee loving friend. It comes from Pixel and Floss, and measures 124 by 194 stitches. It uses a whopping 55 colors to get that awesome look.

Need some help remembering how long to steep your favorite teas? This cross stitch pattern is also a recipe, including the time and temperature for preparing white, green, herbal, red or black tea. It comes from 1000sPatterns (an authorized seller of Your Briar Patch designs) and uses 24 colors and three blends in a stitch area of 130 by 108 stitches. It comes out to 9.29 by 7.71 inches and 23.6 by 19.6 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another cute one featuring different varieties of tea, this time represented by different styles of teapots and cups, comes from Stitchrovia. This would be super cute by your tea area. It measures 117 by 139 stitches and uses 16 colors. For a smaller project you can just stitch one or several of the pots or cups and change the colors to suit your decor.

If you’re a fan of Star Trek you’ll want to stitch up Captain Picard’s favorite tea order to hang in your ready room. This one from Stitch Riot Designs uses eight colors and measures 72 by 91 stitches. That comes out the 5.14 by 6.5 inches, or 13 by 16.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric.

The Fancy a Cuppa? design from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery is really cute with smiling teacup, pot and sugar cubes. The design is 54 by 107 stitches and is 3.9 by 7.6 inches (about 10 by 19.3 cm) on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen.

Crow Cross Stitch Patterns

In all my years writing about cross stitch, I don’t think I’ve ever had a post dedicated to crow cross stitch patterns. That’s a shame, because crows are cool, and they’re a great motif to use in the fall that has a bit of a Halloween/spooky vibe without necessarily being all pumpkins and ghosts (though we have some of that, too). 

Actually, these little crow cross stitch patterns from LaSelva Design could be up in the house year round, especially if you’ve made friends with crows or are trying to cultivate your own murder. This set of four patterns is each worked in four colors, and they’re shown in 3-inch hoops, though they vary in size a little bit. 

This Art Nouveau crow from Needle Lot Designs is stunning and reminds me a bit of a tarot card. It would be the perfect thing to stitch for a witchy friend. It measures 74 by 98 stitches, which comes out to 5.25 by 7 inches or 13.4 by 17.8 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 14 colors and has no backstitching. 

Or keep it monochrome with PandoraXstitch‘s cross cross stitch pattern. I love how this one looks like a woodcut, and it shows you that even stitching in a single color you can make something really interesting. This design is 283 by 284 stitches, which is a little more than 20 inches or 51.5 cm not quite square on 14 count fabric. The pattern includes measurements for other counts if you want to make it a different size. 

The Book of Lost Keys design from Haunted Frames feels a little more Halloween, but it doesn’t have to be. It tells the story of a mama crow whose baby is locked in a cage, but the mama has the key. The design is shown worked on 18 count fabric and measures 109 by 79 stitches. That’s 6.1 by 4.4 inches, or about 15.5 by 11 cm. It uses four colors of regular floss as well as gold metallic floss. 

Speaking of more Halloween, I love this spooky cake stand featuring a crow and other characters from Ulysses Blue Stitching. You’ll find a creepy cake, eyeball in a jar, owl, ghosts and more haunting this house. It uses nine colors and measure 109 by 143 stitches. That’s 7.4 by 9.8 inches or 19.78 by 25.94 cm on 14 count fabric. 

I also like this kind of folk art crow (or raven as the pattern calls it) sitting on a pumpkin from MIYAstitch. This one measures a manageable 71 by 81 stitches and uses seven colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to a little more than 5 by almost 6 inches (or 13 by 15 cm). 

Another pumpkin and crow pattern (this time with a witch hat) comes from My Lovely Embroidery MB. This dare I say cute design uses seven colors as well ans is 81 by 80 stitches. That measures 5.79 by 5.71 inches, or 14.7 by 14.51 cm, on 14 count fabric. This one uses full and three-quarter stitches as well as French knots.
