Sea-patterns: Turtle

As promised, for today I’ve prepared another easy-to-do sea-pattern. So, meet this cute Turtle that will surely become a nice decoration for your kid’s closes or towels.

I’ve used here three colors for back-stitch lines. You can use only one (DMC 310 black), but I decided to underline the body of the turtle with ultra-very dark emerald green (DMC 3818) and the shell with very dark beige brown (DMC 838). Pay attention that the latter is used for back-stitches only.

Sea-patterns: Crab

The sun and the sea... A heat wave and a fresh breeze... Taste of salt on the lips and alluring coolness of the seawater… Well, there’re so many pleasant things to do… And surely, who will care about cross-stitching in such a paradise? – Nobody, but a passionate cross-stitcher, like my granny, who used to bring her needlework casket everywhere, even to the beach.

Cartoon Car

Here is a wonderful cross-stitch pattern for the youngest racers! As all other patterns on X-Stitch Magic it’s 100% free! To download it please follow the links at the end of the post.

The Lotus Eater

Sometimes I dream about careless life of a Lotus Eater somewhere on the Pacific islands, life without traffics, hurry, life in jungles, but not that of cement and stone… Well, somebody is already living that kind of life. I think this small frog is just an example.

The piece is a snap-shot from the Soviet cartoon “Frog the Traveler” and was realized for Irina. By the way, the pattern is very simple (only 10 colors and a few back-stitches), so even beginners can cope with it. So, nice cross-stitching and take it easy!

Baby Phoenix

 “I’ve got a baby Phoenix as a present for my b-day. He’s so cute! I like it very much and would like to cross-stitch his portrait. I’d like it to be up to 100 stitches, full cross-stitches only, and up to 15 colors, if possible. Here is the link Squishable Phoenix…” This letter I received a few days ago from Sandra. And as she asked I’ve prepared a small and easy to cross-stitch pattern with no back and broken stitches. Hope you like it!

Prince Wednesday

For today I’ve prepared one more free cross-stitch pattern based on celebrated cartoon Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. It’s Prince Wednesday, the best friend of Daniel Tiger and the best magician of the neighborhood))).

To realize Prince Wednesday’s sweater I’ve used technique of blending colors. Don’t be afraid of the term, as there is nothing much complicated behind it. You can find a small tutorial about blended colors here.

Let’s play together!

Who can cope with the task of inventing new games better than Miss Elaina from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood? And today I’d like to invite you to have a nice time cross-stitching this cute and lovely girl in a pink-colored sweater.

Why I mentioned a pink-colored sweater? Well, because it requires some experience to be realized as I’ve used here blended colors. What’s that? It’s a special technique that allows you to gain more subtle shades of a certain color or create some effects like knitted fabric or animal fur. More info about blended colors you can find here.
