I finished my second cross stitch project ever recently, which is on this list of Christmas cross stitch patterns! Lots of fresh, modern designs that will look great stitched up and hanging on your wall, sewn into a pillow, or framed over the mantle. Scroll through and let me know which is your favorite!

I also have a list of Christmas hand embroidery patterns, if you are a versatile crafter!

See more modern, curated cross stitch pattern lists here:

• Halloween cross stitch patterns
• Winter cross stitch patterns
• Modern cross stitch kits

As a beginner, I can’t give advice on cross stitch, but if you’re looking for tips on where to find hoops, stands, scissors, or floss, check out my post on the best hand sewing tools.
