Free cross-stitch charts

August 6, 2011 by Denise Felton 6 Comments

This cross-stitch roundup is all about free patterns. We have created this quick list with links to each Cross stitch pattern. We have tried to choose free patterns to suit something for everyone.

Please note that these patterns were free at the time of writing these cross-stitch articles. Lots of free cross stitch and embroidery patterns come and go online, so if you find a great pattern or perhaps one of the links to the cross stitch patterns below does not work, then please drop a comment below and let us know.

This week, we have curated a list of the best cross-stitch patterns that are free and easy to use. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran cross-stitcher, this list has something for everyone! We’ve included a variety of patterns, from simple designs to more complex patterns that will challenge even the most experienced stitcher.

We hope these patterns inspire you to get creative and make something truly unique! Cross-stitching can be an incredibly rewarding experience, and these free patterns are the perfect way to kickstart your project. So take a look at our curated list and start stitching today!  Looking for more curated lists? Check out these Embroidery and Needlework Patterns.

    Hi there !

    You can also find plenty of free patterns on my blog (for instance, #10 has been given freely as a mystery SAL in May 2009, but with backstitches instead of whole cross stitch …).
    Enjoy !!

    I love to read your posts each day and get so many great ideas and “how tos”. However, I can no figure out how to get the free cross-stitch pattern of the precious Yorkie. Please help.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Annette! Something is definitely wrong. The two charts by Vayou (cocker and yorkie, #2 and #3), were working when I tested them before posting. You should be able to right-click the images on Vayou’s blog and save the full-size chart to your hard drive. However, this morning I can’t click any of the freebie images on her blog. Sounds like a glitch. You may want to give her a heads-up by leaving a comment on her yorkie post. Or you may just want to check back later to see if the problem has been resolved. So sorry!

    Denise

    I think you have to leave a comment or contact her for the grid. I did both, so I hope I get the yorkie grid.
