Free Cross Stitch Patterns

Free Cross Stitch Patterns

Cross stitching is a delightful craft which has been practised for many centuries. The internet is an amazing resource. I have found dozens of free cross stitch patterns all ready for you to download and print out. I will be regularly adding new cross stitch charts to this page so come back and visit again soon.

Now, turn on your printer and grab your needle and threads and let's get stitching!

Please note that the pictures I have shown on this page are not free cross stitch patterns. They have all been made available under creative commons licenses from Flickr.
