Fox Cross Stitch Patterns

by

I don’t really know why I decided to do a post of fox cross stitch patterns. I was thinking this year I should do more roundups of animal patterns because there are so many out there, and they don’t necessarily fall into particular seasons so they might otherwise get overlooked. Fox was the first animal I thought of, so here we are.

Turns out it was a good choice because there are a lot of lovely fox cross stitch patterns to choose from.

One of the first ones to catch my eye was this pretty Scandinavian inspired design from XCrossStitchPatternX. There’s a little bit of a Christmas vibe to it but I think it would be nice to have on display all winter. This round piece uses 7 colors and comes out to about 9 by 9.36 inches or 22.86 by 23.77 cm on 14 count fabric.

Cross Stitch Bay has this pretty design of a fox surrounded by greenery reading a book. It measures 184 by 194 stitches, which is 13.25 inches/33.65 cm square, and it uses 24 colors. (The round version shown here cuts off an additional border that makes the project square.)

If cozy and colorful is your favorite style, you’ll love this one of a fox with a cup of tea from Non Stop Stitch. I love the fox’s little scarf, and the background has lots of cute details. It uses 39 colors plus some blends, and the finished project is 120 by 111 stitches, which comes to 8.5 by 7.8 inches or 22 by 20 cm on 14 count fabric.

They’re more muted but I also adore this cozy red for from CoPlanny. I want to live in that coat and scarf, too! It uses 20 colors and the design is 89 by 125 stitches.

The background on this fox form Pigeon Coop Designs is made up of trees, but for some reason it gives me a Southwest US feeling. You could sub some of the green for more rusty colors (just not too close to the colors of the fox) for a different look. As is, the design uses eight colors and is 50 by 50 stitches, perfect for fitting in a 4-inch hoop.

For someone who is a big fan of little foxes, this set of six patterns of an action-filled fox would make a great gift. LaSelva Design offers this set, which includes fox strutting, sitting, jumping and sleeping. Sizes vary a little but each one fits in a three-inch hoop.

Or keep it classic with a design that’s just a bog fox. This one is by Craftibo Cross and measures 100 by 92 stitches. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 6.57 by 7.14 inches, or 16.69 by 18.14 cm, and uses 16 colors.

King Sophie’s World – Where Photography Meets Embroidery in a Stunning Art Evolution

In the world of modern art, creative boundaries are constantly being pushed, and one artist who is leading the charge in an innovative and inspiring way is Sophie, the mastermind behind King Sophie’s World. Sophie is redefining what it means to blend traditional needlework with contemporary art by combining her stunning photography with embroidery. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’re in for a treat. Let’s take a closer look at how Sophie’s work is pushing the boundaries of art, one embroidered print at a time.

Sophie’s artistic journey is a fusion of two worlds: photography and embroidery. As an artist, she captures beautiful, thought-provoking photographs that evoke emotion and capture life’s fleeting moments. But Sophie doesn’t stop there. She then takes those images to the next level by adding her signature embroidery to everyday objects, creating a piece of art that is both striking and meaningful. These embroidered prints aren’t just photographs—they are a  intricate interpretation of her vision, 

This evolution of art, where photography and embroidery meet, is not just innovative; it’s a testament to the evolving ways in which artists are reimagining the classics and experimenting with new techniques. Sophie’s ability to seamlessly blend these two mediums shows just how far the art world has come—and it’s exciting to think about where it’s headed next.

Among the many stunning pieces in Sophie’s collection, her embroidered rose prints stand out as personal favorites. There’s something so striking about the combination of delicate flowers and bold, empowering words. The roses themselves are beautifully photographed, with intricate stitches capturing the softness and elegance of each petal. But it’s the juxtaposition of these gentle flowers with words that encourage strength and confidence that makes them so powerful.

Her rose embroidery prints feature sayings that resonate with many of us—quotes that inspire, uplift, and make us reflect on the importance of self-worth and empowerment. These aren’t just pretty flowers; they’re symbols of resilience, independence, and beauty, much like the women they represent. Every time I look at one of her pieces, it’s like a visual reminder of how we all need to embrace our inner strength and beauty.

What Sophie is doing with her embroidered prints is so cool because it’s a perfect example of how artists are adapting to and evolving with the times. She takes the age-old art of embroidery—something traditionally viewed as delicate and reserved for traditional or vintage works—and reinvents it. By combining it with photography, she breathes new life into both mediums.

Sophie’s work is proof that art doesn’t need to stay stagnant. It’s an ever-changing, ever-growing process that can take on new forms and new meanings. Through her embroidered prints, Sophie is showing the world how art can evolve and how we, as viewers, can continue to be surprised and inspired by these innovations.
