Wicked Cross Stitch Patterns

Now that the whole world seems to have fallen for the movie version of the musical Wicked, it’s time to stitch up some Wicked cross stitch patterns.

My favorite that I found is probably this Elphaba Defy cross stitch from khallion, which has a fully stitched background but it’s worked in solid colors so it isn’t too difficult. The pattern is 63 by 82 stitches and is meant to fit in a 5×7 frame when stitched on 14 count fabric.

Speaking of defying gravity that’s a popular theme for Wicked cross stitch patterns, and there’s also this great one from Circus Stitches that uses song lyrics and an image of the future Wicked Witch. This design is 100 by 150 stitches and comes out to 7.1 by 10.7 inches/18 by 27.2 cm on 14 count fabric.

There’s also this word art from Just Stitch Me featuring lyrics from “Defying Gravity” shaped into a witch hat and face. It uses just three color and measures 149 by 179 stitches, or 8.3 by 9.9 inches/21 by 25.3 cm on 18 count fabric.

Another common quote featured in Wicked cross stitch projects is “everyone deserves the chance to fly.” You can stitch it up in bold letters with Wicked inspired colors in the background with this design from Kalandra Design, or go a little more subtle with this floral hoop with back stitching from Hannie Bee Designs.

You can also celebrate the bond between witches with this design from Smart Assy Stitches, featuring Elphaba’s hat and Glinda’s wand and the words “so much of me is made of what I learned from you.”

Or you can stitch up the famous image of Glinda whispering in Elphaba’s ear featured on the Playbill for the show. This one is made to fit in a 4-inch hoop and is completely covered with stitching. You can get the pattern form NerdaliciousCE.

Can’t decide? Grab this 10 pack of designs inspired by the costumes and songs from Wicked, designed by Taylor and Cromwell. The one for the song “Popular” is shown above, but each one has a character with lyrics stitched in the background. This one is 96 by 133 stitches and uses 21 colors.

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost.

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric.

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28.

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric.

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
