I’m seriously loving this trend of geometric animal cross stitch patterns! There are woodland patterns, some nautical and magical creatures, insects and safari beasts in this round-up. Honestly, I had a hard time limiting myself to only 23 patterns!

Cross stitch is a great way for beginners to start their embroidery journey. It’s simple and repetitive and the result is always beautiful! 

These geometric designs really elevate the humble cross stitch and make these animals look so lovely and artistic! These geometric animals would be so sweet to add to a child’s bedroom or nursery.

I’m really crushing on the rabbit pattern and how it incorporates non-traditional rabbit colours into a very realistic design. And if you’re looking for more rabbit themed embroideries, I just designed this adorable free pattern!

There’s so much to love about these patterns! And most of the patterns shops have multiple geometric animals to choose from. So happy browsing!
