12 Free Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns

October 9, 2020 by Laura 10 Comments

Last Updated on December 9, 2022

The Christmas stitching season is here! I love a cross stitch project because making all those little x’s is oh so satisfying and relaxing! So I found the 12 best, prettiest, modern and FREE Christmas cross stitch patterns available.

It’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas. 

Would you be appalled if I told you I started my Christmas planning in July?! Ok to be fair it was all business-related Christmas planning. But still.

I’ve been working on new items and ornaments for my Etsy shop, as well as some new patterns that I’m really excited about!

Every year I try to add one more handmade decoration to my Christmas collection. This year I think it will be the Home Alone inspired ornament I found for this round up of 12 Free Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve also found 15 Free Christmas Hand Embroidery Patterns for you to look through if you’re ready to branch out from cross stitch.

3. Christmas Mouse

Well that’s just the cutest little critter!

These furry friend tags are no longer available unfortunately, I’m so sorry if they’re what brought you to this post. I hope the cute mouse above will be an appropriate substitute!

4. Jingle All The Way

The DMC website has lots of free cross stitch patterns, this one was my favourite! I think the colours are really modern.

5. Ya Filthy Animal

This line is always a good idea. Classic really.

6. Snowflake

A beautiful and elegant design!

If the snowflake design below is what brought you to this post, then I must apologize because it appears this pattern is no longer available. So I found the one above to replace it, and I think it’s equally adorable! You could make it in the same style, using blue aida fabric and white stitching and you can still add some cute little beads and satin ribbon.

      Hi Charlotte,
      I’m so sorry but those patterns appear to no longer be available. I found an adorable free Christmas mouse cross stitch pattern as a replacement though!

    Cute patterns and just what I was looking for. FYI though, the Lamp post pattern (#2) is no longer free. Too bad because I jumped through her initial sign up hoops just to get it and then learned it wasn’t even one of her free patterns.

      Oh I’m sorry that pattern didn’t work out for you. It still says it’s free in the author’s blog post, maybe you could try contacting her to see if there’s been a mistake?
