This pattern has been fully stitched and tested, however I have lost the photos from it and no longer have the piece I stitched. With the simplicity of the design, the digital mock ups contained in the listing images are an accurate visualisation of what to expect.

09 January – Bones Cross Stitch Pattern

Today, it’s a great big one.

Bones counted cross stitch pattern.
Measures approx 28×16″ at 18 stitches per inch.
Download includes full PDF pattern, and digital file for XStitch Markup app.

Pattern was converted from one of my own photographs.

This is an advanced pattern. There are few areas of solid colour, with the fine details achieved through confetti. It is also a very large pattern, where getting lost or miscounting can happen more easily, and affect the clarity of the image. Despite its size it has a limited palette, though there are still a few colours with a small stitch count that may be spread across the entire design.

This pattern has been made with a tried and tested process, although the pattern itself has not yet been tested. It is stitchable as-is, but in future may go through minor tweaks and edits once I have begun stitching it myself.

08 January – Happy Alligator Cross Stitch Pattern

A small little beginner one today.

Happy Alligator counted cross stitch pattern.
Measures approx 3 x 4 / 8 x 11 cm at 18 stitches per inch.
Download includes full PDF pattern, Pattern Keeper PDF, and digital file for XStitch Markup app.

This is a beginner/easy pattern. The small size, limited colour palette, and solid blocks of colour make it ideal for anyone learning to cross stitch, or just looking for a project that can be finished in just a few hours. With solid blocks of colour and simple outlines broken into smaller sections, counting mistakes are easily fixed.

07 January – Rainbow Unicorn Cross Stitch Pattern

Another older pattern with a few updates.

Rainbow Unicorn counted cross stitch pattern.
Measures approx 7 x 8″ / 18 x 20 cm at 18 stitches per inch.
Download includes full PDF pattern, Pattern Keeper PDF, and digital file for XStitch Markup app.

This is a beginner to easy difficulty pattern, though its size may lead to some counting mistakes. It mostly consists of large blocks of solid colour, with small amounts of confetti. The confetti in this pattern is highly forgivable of mis-counted stitches, and does not need to be perfect.

Daily Cross Stitch Patterns for 2026

I’ve decided to set up my etsy shop for craft supplies and patterns, and to get my shop established as quickly as possible, I’m going to be posting one hand-drawn pattern per day. Other patterns may also go up, such as photo conversions or samplers.

For the first one, I have a lovely bluebird.
