Free Cross stitch patterns library (200 +)

ByRuth Cartwright

I’ve gathered together over 200 of my free cross stitch designs in one place, so you find the perfect pattern. I have been designing them for over 10 years since I first fell in love with this addictive craft. The majority of my patterns are small and full count only making them easy for beginners.

*If you’re looking for holiday and seasonal patterns check out my Christmas, Valentines, Easter and Halloween collections.
