Today I was looking for a Candy Cane Cross Stitch pattern. At Candy Cane Facts I found a green and white candy cane, Candy Sticks, and a tiny candy cane.

Then I started looking for other free Christmas Cross Stitch patterns. I found quite a few that I thought would make nice ornaments or gifts this Christmas:

• At Free Cross Stitch Pattern there are 20 cross stitch designs, including: Xmas Sock, Christmas Tree, Snowman, Christmas Candle and more.
• At Free Patterns Online there is a list of cross stitch designs, including: Joy Ornament, Rudolph, Angel, Noel Ornament and more.
• At 123 Stitch I found a few designs: Silly Swirly Snow, Mini Siwling Snow, Christmas Poinsetta, and more.   You will need Acrobat Reader to print these.
• At Free Cross Stitch Patterns I found links to more Christmas Cross Stitch designs, including: Snowy Village, Merry Merry Christmas, Christmas Holly, Little Angel, and more.
• At Better Homes and Gardens I found a Cross Stitch Santa Ornament to attach to your gifts.
• At Free Patterns I found a Christmas Angel, Arctic Penguin, Santa, Itsy-Bitsy-Snowman, Season Greetings and more!
• And also if you join Free Patterns.com you will have access to many more Christmas Cross Stitch patterns.

I hope you find this list helpful in finding that special Christmas Cross Stitch pattern to make as a gift, ornament, or gift tag this Christmas.

Happy Crafting!!
