Free Round Ornament Cross Stitch Pattern

This free ornament cross stitch pattern was designed to fit inside a 3-inch hoop, so it’s easy to finish up for display or to give as a gift.

I stitched this using DMC 115 on an opalescent evenweave that I had in my stash. I picked up a six-pack of these shiny aluminum hoops from Amazon, and they’re perfect for ornaments 🙂 (side note: you’ll want to have a Phillips head screwdriver handy to loosen and tighten these)

This cute little jack-o-lantern cross stitch pattern is also what happens when I leave my pattern program unattended and my son Ethan sits down at my desk. I had a 3-inch-mini hoop template open in PC Stitch and had been working on some ornament designs when my son sat down at my desk while I was taking a break from the screen. I jokingly told him to go ahead and design me a hoop while he was there… and he did! Such a fun little surprise, I thought you might enjoy it as a free pattern, so here it is 🙂

Enjoy and happy stitching

Simple Semicolon Free Cross Stitch Pattern

I received the most lovely email from a reader about some of my patterns here at Stitching the Night Away, in particular about This Story Isn’t Over Yet. She asked if I would chart a small simple semicolon, something around 3-inches in size, that she could stitch and turn into various gifts for her support group. Of course that sounded like an amazing idea and I charted it up for her right away. I’m happy to share that design here in case anyone else would like to do the same.

  • Doctor Who Quote cross stitched by Linda S. as a gift for her son
    stitched by Linda S. & shared with us on Facebook

While this is one of my favorite quotes from The Doctor, it was maybe one of my least favorite episodes of Doctor Who. Those wax people things were creepy. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from watching the episode over again when we have a Doctor Who marathon on the weekends.

Here’s the clip from the episode with the quote 🙂

Peppermint Twist Chevron Ornament

A fun and easy holiday ornament design for all stitching skill levels 🙂

Peppermint Twist Free Cross Stitch Ornament Pattern

Download the free cross stitch pattern here as a PDF

Pattern size is 63 x 63 stitches. I charted with red, green, and sparkly Kreinik thread, but of course you can use any colors you’d like from your stash.

You could go traditional reds or mix it up and choose colors to match your existing holiday decorations. Finishing is also flexible, since the design is square with four panels it could also be finished up as a biscornu with a button in the center. However you decide to stitch and finish it, I would love to see your work, please do come back and share a photo.

Please like, pin, and share to spread the holiday cheer!

Happy Holidays Stitchy Friends!

The War Doctor Quote Free Pattern

The War Doctor, without an official number or a fancy catch phrase, making the most difficult decision and fighting The Time War… Portrayed by actor John Hurt in the 50th Anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor, along side the beloved 10 and 11 of David Tennant and Matt Smith.

It was a quote-filled episode for sure, but this moment sticks with you. Okay, the whole thing sort of sticks with you as a Doctor Who fan, there’s a lot of emotion and powerful storytelling packed into that anniversary special. (random side note for ’80s kids, John Hurt was also The Storyteller)

Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame.
