Where to buy corss stitching patterns for baby blanket!?

Question

Hello..im trying to find somewhere with good cute cross stitching patterns so i can cross stitch a baby blanket for my baby boy who will be here in nov! Please help!

Answer 1

Both Joann Fabrics and Michaels Craft Stores have cross stitch pattern books to choose from. Also, many cross stitch pattern books are listed on ebay.com that would make a nice baby blanket pattern. If you don't see something you like on ebay this week, check again from time to time because the auctions change frequently with new listings every day. Happy cross stitching!

Answer 2

A couple of questions for you...

Are you looking for a kit to make the blanket that has cross stitching?

Are you looking for a pattern to stich and then turn into a blanket (like a quilt)? So, you make the piece and then turn it into a blanket.

Are you looking for a border? What size image do you want? How do you want the blanket to be when complete?

Do you want a birth announcement or just a pretty design?

What are you going to stitch it on? (Linen, Aida, cotton, etc..)

Sorry for the questions, but I'm not sure what exactly you want and I do want to help! Can you please edit your question? Thanks. :)

EDIT: Thanks for the update. Here are some patterns I have considered for my 2 boys. I tend to go for the ones that are not so baby-ish so that they last longer.

Do you like any of these? You can also find mini patterns that you can "dot" around the edge of the blanket. There are a lot of small (around 2-4" patterns) that are fairly simple and a child would enjoy.
