free hand-embroidery patterns

April 23, by Denise Felton. 2 Comments

To say I’m behind in posting links to free patterns is an understatement! Enjoy these designs dating back to the first of the year.

This week, we’ve gathered the greatest hand-embroidery patterns for you to try! We offer something for everyone, whether you’re a novice or an expert. Our free patterns range from simple cross-stitch designs to more complicated flower and animal motifs. With so many designs to select from, you’re bound to find one that matches your taste. Our designs are extremely simple to follow, so even if you’re a novice, you’ll be able to complete your project with ease. So why not give it a shot? You’ll be shocked at how quickly you can accomplish your own embroidered creations. It’s also a terrific way to find creative expression and unwind after a busy day. So take your needles.

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.
