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.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
