Free Sailboat Cross Stitch
Printable Pattern

This bright boat with it's fuchsia and white checkered sail--you can almost feel it rocking gently on the ocean as the sun sets. Embroider it on a bookmark to keep your place in the storybooks you read to baby at bedtime.

While this cross stitch sailboat pattern was originally created as another block or square for a baby afghan or baby quilt, it doesn't have to stay in the nursery.

  • Embroider it for your office mouse pad or mug as a reminder that there are better places to be than at work when the sun goes down.
  • Or, cross stitch a set of coasters, changing only the color of the sailboat on each.
  • You can embroider them on 3" bands and add them to the curtains.
