Free patterns: Hand-embroidery

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.
