The “Secret” to Finding Great Cross Stitch Patterns

July 12, 2017 by Sarah White

cross stitch designers on etsy

There are a lot of cross-stitch patterns online. There are even a lot of free cross-stitch patterns online. Some of them aren’t great, and some of them are clearly copyright violations (because someone took a picture from a book and posted it to a website or on Pinterest), but you can still find some good things.

But if we’re being honest, the best source for cross-stitch patterns on line is probably etsy.

Yes, you’re going to have to pay for patterns you get from there, but that’s just good karma. It takes time and money to create patterns, so if you like them you should send a little monetary thanks to the designer.

Need help navigating the tons of amazing designers on etsy? Check out this great post from Sew What Alicia all about cross-stitch designers on etsy. I’ll bet you’ll see something you like.

Do you have a favorite cross-stitch designer on etsy? Or are you a designer who sells on etsy? We’d love to know about it!

    Go to Library books sales or Salvation Army for Cross Stitch books. I find a lot of pattern books at these places.

    I’m also a designer who sells online via my own website and on Etsy and have some really big projects like the Periodic Table of Elements and Flags of the World that my customers love. I love supporting other designers and Etsy is the best place to find a huge range of amazing designs.
    My shop is at http://www.etsy.com/shop/hollyshobbiesuk and I’d love you to tell me what you think x

Labubu Cross Stitch Patterns

For some reason I missed out on the beginning of the Labubu trend (my teen isn’t into it) but now that I’m seeing it everywhere it seems like a good time to look into Labubu cross stitch patterns. 

These creepy cute little monsters show up in all sorts of cute outfits, which makes them fun to stitch for a Labubu lover of any age. 

In cross stitch the pink Labubu seems to show up the most often. You can stitch up this one with a slightly sinister face from MK Cross Stitch Shop. This one is 23 by 43 stitches and uses eight colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 1.64 by 3.07 inches, or 4.17 by 7.8 cm. 

There’s also this fuzzy little monster from Alya Cross Stitch, which uses six colors on a project that’s 100 by 169 stitches. 

Or try this lovely little Labubu with a flower in its hair. This one is by Stitch Heart UA, and would be perfect for a little kid’s room or as a decoration for spring. It measures 93 by 128 stitches, which comes out to 6.6 by 92. inches/16.9 by 23.3 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and 5 blends.

If you want to just stitch the faces, I like this collection of Labubu heads to cross stitch in different pastel colors. This design from Stitched by Sophie AUS has 23 colors and measures 120 stitches square. That comes out to about 8.6 inches or 22 cm square on 14 count fabric. 

Or you can make a little collection of different characters with this set from Sampler Cross Stitch. Stitch one or stitch them all. Each one is 30 by 60 stitches, or 2.57 by 4.57 inches/6.5 by 11.6 cm. 

How about a Halloween themed Labubu? I love this one from Handiwork of Natalie, who also has some other themed Labubu cross stitch patterns. This one is 66 by 99 stitches and uses 12 colors. It suggests cross stitch fabric that’s 4.75 by 7 inches or 12 by 18 cm.
