Free pattern: Koala softie

The thing I want you to know about Patterns by Rybka Stitch is that their patterns tell a story. OK, some of them are just gnomes or dragons dressed up for different holidays, and that’s not really that deep, but a lot of these patterns feel like little worlds you want to step into.

For example, there’s a whole section in the shop called Bedroom Decor. In it you’ll find a bunch of little reading nooks and bookshelves, couches in front of windows with plants, little scenes you wish were real so you could hang out in them. 

It’s hard to pick just one to share, but I’m going to go with this spring-themed A-frame window reading nook, complete with tulips on the table, a ton of pillows and blankets and a couple of giant stacks of books. This is where I’d want to spend the day reading and stitching! It measures 92 by 97 stitches, which is 6.6 by 6.9 inches or 16.7 by 17.6 cm on 14 count fabric, and uses 32 solid colors and three blends.

In addition to these super cozy patterns, you’ll find plenty of holiday projects to delight you if that’s your thing. The Christmas section includes cute snowmen, cupcakes and more cozy corners, plus a couple of holiday greeting card patterns you can stitch. For Halloween there are gnomes, ghosts and ghoulish cupcakes. There are also patterns for Valentine’s Day, fall and Easter.

These patterns are luscious and whimsical, with great color choices and fun designs to stitch up any time of year.

Check out all their fun little worlds at Patterns by Rybka Stitch on Etsy. And if you see something you like I’d love to hear about it.
