Fun Father’s Day Cross Stitch Patterns

by

Father’s Day is right around the corner but you’ve still got time to stitch something fun for a dad in your life. Check out these fun and often funny Father’s Day cross stitch patterns!

I can’t resist a good Star Wars design, but I can’t decide which of these I like better. The “baby alien” design is from Cross Stitch Wow and the Darth Vader tattoo is from X Stitches Be Crazy, both on Etsy.

Show dad he’s out of this world with this planetary cross stitch you can add text to from DMC and LoveCrafts.

If the dad in your life is just OK, celebrate him with the World’s Okayest Dad cross stitch from Snarky Art Company on Etsy.

This toolbox design from Country Living would be cute for a dad who’s handy. (Link goes direct to PDF.)

This Family is Forever design from Plaid Online might be cute for dad in different colors (or pastels if he likes pastels!).

Or keep it simple with this I love you design from Little Stab Studios (this one is also a direct to PDF link).
