Free hand-embroidery patterns

August 13, 2011 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

We’ve chosen the best hand-embroidery patterns for you to attempt this week! We offer something for everyone, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned veteran. Our free cross-stitch patterns range from simple cross-stitch patterns to more complex floral and animal motifs. With so many styles to choose from, you’re sure to find one that suits your preferences. Our designs are really easy to follow, so even if you’re a beginner, you’ll be able to finish your project quickly. Why not give it a try? You’ll be surprised at how quickly your own embroidered designs may be completed. It’s also a great way to express yourself creatively and unwind after a long day. So bring your needles.

Please keep in mind that all designs were available for free at the time of authoring these cross-stitch articles. Many free cross stitch and embroidery designs appear and disappear on the internet, so if you find a beautiful pattern or one of the links to the cross stitch patterns below does not work, please leave a comment below and let us know.

Looking for more curated lists? Check out these Embroidery and Needlework Patterns.  For supplies, we highly recommend purchasing directly from DMC threads.
