Ted Lasso Cross Stitch Patterns

There are so many great shows coming to an end right now, but one of the ones I’m saddest about is Ted Lasso. While the show hasn’t stayed as cheery as it started, I still love this crew of weirdos and their scrappy little team that’s become a family over the years. So in honor of the show’s last episode airing this week I bring you Ted Lasso inspired cross stitch patterns.

Of course we’d have to start with a Believe sign, which you can make to hang above any door you like with this pattern from PandoStitch on Etsy. It uses just two colors and is 75 by 38 stitches, or about 5.3 by 2.7 inches on 14 count fabric, so you can stitch this one up in no time regardless of your skill level.

Andrew Heiss made a cross-stitched version of the AFC Richmond crest that you can download as a chart or an Illustrator file if you want to change it up in any way. It uses four colors and is 48 by 49 stitches.

Ted Lasso characters are known for sharing good advice of the sort that definitely should be embroidered on a pillow, or cross stitched on a wall hanging, anyway. “Don’t You Dare Settle for Fine” is one example converted to stitching by Etsy seller Sunshine and Stitchery. This one is 100 by 50 stitches and uses two colors. It’s mostly letters so this would be a good beginner project (though, in stitching, settling for fine is actually fine).

And if you just need Ted cheering you on, stitch up this thumbs-up cross stitch pattern from Slumber Party DIY on Etsy. This one is a little more involved in that it uses 11 colors in a stitch area of about 5.6 by 6.4 inches, but it’s well worth the effort for a little Midwestern charm.

Of course there are a few slightly salty options available, too. Harness your boss ass bitch energy with help from this cross stitch pattern from The Stitch Crypt, or remember how they used to cheer for Roy Kent with this one from Sonova Stitch.

Cross stitch is not a craft I generally travel with (since I’m not that good at it, I prefer not to be moving while I’m doing it) but I’m sure there are lots of stitchers who would like to take their projects with them when they travel.

Koekoek has a post all about cross stitching on a plane, which is a great plan since it’s lots of uninterrupted time to work. As mentioned in the post, you should be able to bring embroidery needles (which tend not to be that sharp anyway) on an airplane with you.

Regulations in the United States say that scissors with blades up to 4 inches/10 cm are allowed in the cabin, but whether they are allowed by security as you pass through it is up to their discretion. And thread cutters that use a razor blade are not supposed to be allowed at any time.

Alternatives include bringing nail clippers to snip your threads, or pre-cutting thread and placing it on bobbins so you can stitch on the plane. Then pack scissors in your checked bag so you can cut any loose ends or extra long strands later.

Check out the post at Koekoek for more tips on traveling with cross stitch and suggestions for projects to pack when traveling. I’ve also written in the past about this post from Caterpillar Cross Stitch about traveling with cross stitch supplies and, importantly, what to do to make your screening as smooth as possible. And, importantly, what to do if the security agents question your supplies or want to confiscate anything you brought.

And that’s a great tip, too: if you are packing scissors in your carry on but you’re also checking a bag, pack extras there just in case.

Do you have any tips for traveling with cross stitch projects? I’d love to hear them. Also check out my post about planning a travel stitching kit.
