Turkey Cross Stitch Patterns

If you want to add a little crafty flair to your holiday table or Thanksgiving decor, check out these cute and easy to stitch turkey cross stitch patterns.

Gobbles the Turkey from Wild Violet is mostly worked in shades of brown and features a face and a few feathers. It’s 45 stitches by 40 stitches, or 3.2 by 2.9 inches on 14 count fabric.

Stitchin Momma has a cute mini turkey cross stitch pattern but the sales page is low on details so that’s about all I can tell you. A similar looking pattern from Bella Rose Craft on Etsy is 2.79 by 3.14 inches and fits in a 4-inch hoop.

Speaking of minis, this tiny turkey from Etsy seller LaSelva Design looks more like a real turkey and packs a lot of detail into a little space. The pattern measures 31 by 34 stitches and uses 12 colors, and it fits inside a 3-inch hoop. This would be so pretty stitched on holiday napkins.

This old-fashioned-looking turkey pattern would be cute to have on display in the kitchen or to stitch onto an apron. It’s actually shown in the photo mounted on a wooden cutting board, which is a fun presentation. The pattern is rated easy and is available from Annie’s.

If you like the combination of pumpkins and turkeys, how about a turkey in a pumpkin? There’s no rule that says we have to be done with pumpkins after Halloween (and we certainly keep eating them at least until Thanksgiving). This pattern from Kits by SAstitch on Etsy is 68 by 90 stitches and uses 20 colors and three blends using some of the same colors. (Learn more about color blending with embroidery floss.) It uses regular cross stitch and back stitch to highlight parts of the pattern and for the Happy Thanksgiving lettering at the bottom. The little heart is a sweet touch, too.

This time of year I always start thinking about vacations, and while I don’t think I’ll be seeing the beach this year, I could stitch up one of these beach themed cross stitch patterns, which would be perfect if you live near the beach or have a beach house to decorate.

First there are these teeny projects from Bella Rose Craft. This set of minis includes a seagull and a starfish, and they are each shown in their own 1.5 by 2 inch/3.8 by 5 cm frames, though the pattern has them together on one chart. The gull is 17 by 20 stitches and the starfish is 16 by 16.

Speaking of seagulls, I love this little seagull sampler that also includes anchors, sailboats and a life preserver, among other summer symbols. This one is from Bees on Toast Shop (would love to know the story of that name!) and uses only full cross stitches and 8 colors. The sample is shown in a 6-inch hoop.

If you want to get literal with your beach stitching, try this project that says beach and includes sand, sea, sun and lots of other fun stuff within the letters. The design is from Stitchrovia and measures 252 by 85 stitches. On 14 count fabric that would be 18 by 6.1 inches, or 45.7 by 15.4 cm. Sizing for other fabric counts are included if you want to make yours smaller. The pattern uses 21 colors.

Stitch up a project that says “wish you were here” or “wish I were there” with this one from The Little Art Veranda. It shows two chairs on the beach in front of what I’ve decided is the sunset (which kind of looks like an egg, but I like it). It uses 9 colors and only full cross stitches. It’s 140 by 140 stitches and fits perfectly in a 10 inch hoop if stitched on 14 count fabric.

Or make the beach modern art with this fun wave design from Box and Fox worked in three shades of blue. It measures 110 by 10 stitches, which is 7.8 inches or 19.96 cm square on 14 count fabric. Despite the dramatic look this would be a great option for someone new to cross stitch.
