Free patterns and charts: A little of everything

May 2, 2010 by Denise Felton 3 Comments

This Embroidery roundup is all about free patterns. We have created this quick list with links to each Embroidery 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.

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

This week, we’ve compiled a list of the greatest hand embroidery patterns for you to try! We offer something for everyone, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned veteran. Our free patterns range from traditional cross-stitch themes to more elaborate flower and animal motifs.

With so many designs to select from, you’re sure to find something to match your own style. Our designs are extremely simple to follow, so even if you’re a novice, you’ll be able to finish your project quickly. Why not give it a shot? You’ll be astonished at how quickly your own embroidered creations may be completed. It’s also a terrific way to unwind after a hard day by finding a creative outlet. So get your needles ready.
