Ted Lasso Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

D&D Cross Stitch Patterns

My husband is a D&D player from way back and still does role playing with his friends most weekends. There are lots of great D&D cross stitch patterns, but somehow the ones that caught my eye this time have a theme of being about the D&D classes or involving dice (or both). 

I love this collection of the D&D classes done as tarot cards. These would be so fun to stitch up for all the people in your party, or make the full set as one big wall hanging for the game room. There are 16 patterns total (just a few are shown here) and each one just uses three colors. The designs are from GlitchStitchAU.

This set kind of reminds me of astrological signs, though I can’t really say why. This set of 16 designs from White Raven Patterns is color coordinated so it sort of makes a rainbow if you stitch all of them. The dungeon master one is more colorful. Each one uses five or six colors and fits in a 10-inch hoop. 

Combining character classes and dice we get this set of 14 designs from Stitch it Picasso. Each one includes the class name and a die with a number on it, as well as some images that make sense for that class (the bard has a lute and music notes, for example). Each design is around 90 by 90 stitches and they use 13 to 19 colors each, depending on the design. 

Or you can make patches that look like dice with this D20 dice bundle from Non Player Creation. The patches are inspired by the four seasons, but you could change up the colors to suit your campaign setting if you like. They are 31 by 35 stitches and use between nine and 12 colors depending on the season. 

And speaking of D20s, this little dragon might be protecting your dice or cursing them, it’s hard to tell. It’s kind of cute, though! The design is from Cross Stitch Wow and measures 80 by 95 stitches. It fits in an 8-inch hoop and uses 16 colors.
