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.

I don’t usually cross stitch text or add words to my cross stitch projects. Sometimes I will sign things using basic block lettering worked in backstitch (luckily my initials are pretty easy to stitch), but if you give your cross stitch as a gift or otherwise want to personalize it, adding text is a great way to go.

But if a project didn’t already come with text, and you don’t want to draw your own, you’ll need a good cross stitch font that you can use for your project.

I like collecting fonts that are easy to read and to stitch and that would be good for lots of different uses.

For example I really like this bold alphabet font from Cross Stitch with Art, which has both capital and lowercase letters as well as numbers if you need them for dates or other information on your design. The capital letters are an inch/2.5 cm/14 stitches tall, which makes it easy to figure out how much space you need to leave for them. It’s a nice, basic, readable serif font you can use for lots of project.

If you want a script font that’s still really readable, check out Magic Calligraphy from Soft Pattern Designs. This hand drawn font has upper case letters around 28 stitches tall, with lower case letters mostly being around 20 stitches (though the ones that go up or down a lot like f, p and y are bigger). The numbers also vary a bit in size but range from 25 to 29 stitches.

Sometimes you just want a classic font that looks like sports lettering, and in that case you’re going to need Varsity, an all caps font from Stitch Mod. This one has letters that are 21 stitches tall, and it includes capital letters and numbers. But there are definitely times this one would come in handy!

Another sometimes useful and really cute font is this alphabet block letters alphabet from Stitch Junction. These letters are all upper case and look like classic building blocks, and there are also numbers available. This one would be perfect for a birth announcement project or some other cross stitch for the baby’s room.
