With a name like Cottage Core Stitches, you’re going to expect cozy scenes, soft colors, cross stitch projects that look like watercolors. And you’ll get exactly that from this Etsy shop that’s based in Greece. Let’s get into it. 

The largest category on the site is just called cross stitch patterns, which is a miscellany of people, buildings, birds, mushrooms, farm scenes and the like. If you like those kinds of realistic designs (not all of which I would strictly categorize as cottagecore, but they don’t have to be) this is a good section to browse through. 

Next up is cross stitch flowers, and I want all these pretty vases and vignettes on my kitchen table. It’s hard to pick just one to share, so know that there are mason jar bouquets, baskets full of flowers and hanging plants aplenty on this site. 

I was really drawn to this soft purple, blue and pink collection of flowers in a mug. The mug even has little daisies “painted” on it. How cute is that?

This design is 250 by 250 stitches, which comes out to 17.87 inches or 45.4 cm square if stitched on 14 count fabric. It uses 29 colors.

Another big category is called food and cooking, and here you’ll find your canning content, herbs and fruits in jars, yummy looking stuff like a pattern for cross-stitched cinnamon rolls, kitchen scenes and more. 

The Christmas cross stitch patterns feel like something out of Little Women, or American Girl dolls come to life to decorate the tree. There are also village scenes, snowmen,, a wreath on a door and the like. 

Other categories of patterns on the site are much smaller and include nursery and Easter pattern. There’s also a section for pattern bundles if you can’t get enough kitchen herbs or flowers in mason jars, for example. 

If this style of cross stitch is something you like, check out all the patterns at Cottage Core Stitches.
