Cross stitch is a hobby that carries a wide array of designs and personalities that allow you to choose from almost every style of pattern and character from serious civil war scenes to cute and cuddly teddy bears.  Some of the most popular designs are those that make up the cute characters category in wide world of cross stitch. It's a rather strange phenomenon, but the cute little characters of many cross stitch designs and patterns seem to take on personalities all of their own with each little x that is added to the wonderfully cute pictures.

Cute characters in cross stitch are used for all types and derived from all areas of life to create unique designs and styles.  You can find a design or pattern for almost any occasion that is covered in cute characters and that is appropriate for a boy, girl, man or woman. Cute character designs can be created for get well presents, birthday presents, just because, new mom, new baby, house warming, holiday presents, room décor or any other reason to give you can possibly think of.

Over all there is really no shortage of cute characters and designs when it comes to cross stitch patterns, the array of cuteness will stretch the entire gamete from fairies to trolls and teddy bears to your own cute and cuddly photos.

The range of cute characters that can be found in the cross stitching world is really quite large.  Many designs and patterns come in some of our favorite fictional childhood characters such as the Peanuts characters, the Lil' Miss and Lil" Mr. characters, as well as almost all the Disney characters from any and all their full length animated feature films.  There are also designs and patterns that come in Precious Moments or Hummel designs which are collected by many people all over the world now, and make great presents as well as adding a new twist on an item someone may already collect.

Among some of my favorite cute characters are Tatty Teddy designs and many of the cute angel and fairy designs that create room décor for infants.  Some of the most beautiful patterns feature partially-clothed angels with all their baby rolls visible and a pinned diaper. Another popular sector is that of fairies with their colorful clothing and gossamer wings.

Cute characters in cross stitch don't just come from cartoon and fictional characters; you don't need to look far to find the most adorable animal characters that create some of the cutest cross stitch pieces. These creative characters bring an aura of brightness to any room or room decor.  You can find anything from cute dog and puppy designs to bunnies, cats and kittens, and almost any other animal in the world.  Ocean scenes with dolphins, star fish, sea horses, sea shells and other colorful fish are very popular and will make for great room décor in any predominantly blue infant's bedroom or any other room with matching colors.

Other popular cute characters in animal designs can be created from your own photos of household pets and children.  Lions and tigers are universally popular when it comes to adorable designs; there are all kinds of cute lion and tiger cub depictions of play in the wild or by themselves for baby blankets and other cute decoration.  Many jungle animals such as frogs, snakes, or safari themes with giraffes, monkeys and hippos make up some both cute and unique designs that will fit into the right setting, adding that adorable touch you may be looking for.
