Cardinal Cross Stitch Patterns | Cardinal Cross Stitch Kits

The vibrant cardinal is a favorite guest of most any avid birder. Their beautiful coloration and unique song make them truly special and worthy of enjoying as cross stitch art in your home.

I have collected cardinal cross stitch patterns featuring various seasons so they're not just for holiday and winter decorating but can be enjoyed the year 'round. I have patterns for all stitching skills levels from novice to experience and because cardinals are seen as so much a part of winter I have also included some cardinal cross stitch ornaments, stockings and decorations as well.

Cardinal Cross Stitch Patterns

Aida - the cross stitch cloth specifically designed for for this purpose.

Chart - A black & white or full color preprinted graph detailing the colors and placement for your stitches. (also known as a Pattern or Graph) Floss and fabrics need to be purchased separately.

Count - determines the size of the finished cross stitch by the size of the squares in the aida cloth.

Cross Stitch Kit - Contains all that is necessary to complete the cross stitch including thread, needle & cloth.

Embellished Cross Stitch Is a preprinted pattern which is meant to be a part of the overall design and not washed away. In general only part of the image is actual stitchery.

Floss - Is usually a cotton thread consisting of multiple strands for separating and mixing on the more complicated patterns.

Perforated Paper - is similar to the concept of aida cloth though is a paper which is sometimes preprinted with part of the overall design.

Stamped Cross Stitch - The cloth is pre-stamped with the design placement and washes away when your finished with your cross stitch.

Thread - May be used to indicate floss though it can also be silk or metallic in nature.
