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.
