A cross stitch pattern adds a perfect something to a room. They can be small or large, and come in every style and theme you can think of. Here’s a list of free or reasonably priced patterns that can be used in any child’s room. Whether you need a pattern to welcome a new child into the world (your own child, or a baby shower gift) or you want to give a gift to a nephew, niece, or grandchild, I hope they’re just what you were looking for. You could finish them as banners to hang on a bedroom door or bedroom wall, make them into cushions, or frame them and place them on a bedside table.
