Cross Stitch Pattern Tutorial Using Canva (PUMPKIN )

Hello, welcome back to our blog. In the previous article, we shared two yellow simple flower cross stitch projects which you can read here. In this article, we will share Tutorial Step by Step How to Make a Pumpkin Cross Stitch Pattern Using Canva.

Canva is a popular application that is widely used to create designs by beginners or professionals. In this article we will not share how to make designs with Canva, but rather how we make cross stitch patterns with Canva.

This article is the second time we discuss how to make cross stitch pattern using Canva. You can read our first article here. The method for making patterns in the first and second articles has the same basis, but the order is different. You can choose which one you like more. The cross stitch pattern we will make this time has an autumn theme, namely pumpkin.

Even though we made it with Canva not a cross stitch embroidery pattern maker application, the results are no less beautiful. Let’s just start the tutorial.

CROSS STITCH PATTERN TUTORIAL

STEP 1

If you don’t have the Canva application, please download it first on Google Play or the App Store.

STEP 2

Once you have the Canva app, the next step is to create a new page. We use PIN size pages for Pinterest. You don’t have to use the same size options as us. Please adjust it to your needs.

STEP 3

Add net elements.

STEP 4

Reduce the net size and move it to the top left corner. If the net size is smaller, the amount of embroidery will be greater. You can determine how small the box size is according to your wishes.

Then copy the net and arrange it to cover the page.

The finished page is covered with a net.

STEP 5

The next step is to choose the elements that you will make into cross stitch patterns. In this article we choose pumpkin.

STEP 6

After selecting the element, the next step is to resize and move the position of the pumpkin. We increase the size of the pumpkin and move it further up.

STEP 7

Position the pumpkin behind the net.

STEP 8

Add cross elements.

Then reduce the size of the cross to fit the box.

STEP 9

Move the cross to the leftmost and topmost part of the pumpkin.

STEP 10

The next step is to color the cross. Color the cross according to the color of the pumpkin image. Every time you add a cross in a different color, don’t forget to change the color of the cross.

STEP 11

Copy the cross then fill in the pumpkin box with the cross. To put a cross on a picture of a pumpkin, you might be wondering what to do with a box that only contains a few pictures of pumpkins. If the image fills 3/4 of the box then we put a cross, if it is 1/2 or less than 1/2 of the box we put a cross and some don’t. We determine whether it is cross or not according to our taste. You can determine it according to your taste and it doesn’t have to be exactly the same as what we made because in making this pattern you are free to be creative.

In this pumpkin pattern there are several boxes that contain ¾ of the image but we don’t put a cross like the image below.

There is also a box that only contains a few images which we have crossed out like the image below.

Cross-overs like the two above create a better pattern design in our opinion. So, as we mentioned before, you are free to cross link according to your taste.

STEP 12

Once you have finished giving the cross, the next step is to delete the pumpkin image. The method is to choose one of the nets and then position it at the back.

Next, select one of the crosses in the box and position it at the back. Click the cross then delete the pumpkin image.
