Teacher Cross Stitch Patterns for Back to School

August 15, 2023 by Sarah White

You might not want to stitch up a teacher cross stitch pattern for the first day of school to give to your new teacher, but if you start on these now they’ll be ready for the holiday season or whenever you want to show some teacher appreciation through cross stitch.

This back to school pencil gnome cross stitch pattern from Favorite Gnome made me laugh, and it will probably make a teacher in your life laugh, too. Just sway out the hair color if your teacher doesn’t have gray hair! This one is 5 by 10 inches (67 by 135 stitches) and uses 19 colors.

Teachers do a lot of things, including instructing, inspiring, encouraging and more. Show a teacher you appreciate all the things that go into the name with this 14-color cross stitch design from Kix Stitches. It measures 95 by 105 stitches.

Haunted by Naomi has a cute kawaii best teacher ever cross stitch pattern with a friendly apple and pencil. It is 76 by 72 stitches, or a little more than 5 inches on each side, and uses full cross stitches and back stitching.

Speaking of kawaii, Trellis & Thyme has a super cute cross stitch pattern with kawaii school supplies. These little cuties can be stitched together into a piece that measures 6 by 1.75 inches, or work each one as its own little pattern to decorate a bookmark or card to give to a teacher.

If your teacher is a fan of flowers, stitch up this heartfelt design about teaching as planting seeds. It comes from Teajeah Designs and is 167 by 165 stitches. That’s 13 by 13.5 inches on 14 count fabric when all stitched up.

And if you want to thank a teacher for their big heart, try this teacher appreciation cross stitch pattern from Cats in Space Art. It measures 78 by 74 stitches, which makes it a pretty quick project, and you’ll get a chance to use a lot of fun colors.

Designer Spotlight: Curious Carrie Designs

If you like seasonal samplers and cross stitch patterns with a primitive twist, you’ll enjoy the collection from Curious Carrie Designs.

You’ll find alphabet designs, biscornu, patriotic projects and more. The summer category is the largest on the storefront, with Americana and floral designs. There are also categories for the other seasons and more general designs.

One of my favorites is this pretty sunflower cross stitch pattern, which is shown styled as a biscornu but it wouldn’t have to be. The pattern features sunflowers and bees and a little beehive. It uses 12 colors of floss and each side of the pattern is 51 by 51 stitches, which comes out to 3.64 inches or 9.2 cm square.

I love the fabric she used for the sample, which she actually dyed purple herself, but it would also be pretty on a purchased light blue or other color if you don’t want to dye your own.

There’s also a whole set of themed biscornu with a four letter word on one side (crow, home, love and snow, to name a few) along with a seasonal pattern on the other side.

The shop has a rather small selection at around 90 patterns as of this writing, but it’s a nice collection of traditional looking designs heavy on samplers and biscornu designs, so if those are things you like you’ll want to be sure to check it out. Visit Curious Carrie Designs on Etsy to see all her pretty designs.

Are you a designer or do you have a favorite cross stitch designer who hasn’t made it into the spotlight yet? (You can see all the featured designers in the craft businesses category on the page.) Let me know in the comments, or you can submit more detailed information by clicking on “suggest a craft” at the center top of the page.
