Turkey Cross Stitch Patterns

October 17, 2023 by Sarah White

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.

All About Stitching on Perforated Paper

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own. 

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
