Free Blue Enamel Kettle Cross-Stitch Pattern with DMC Codes

Stitch a charming blue enamel kettle with this free printable cross-stitch pattern. The chart includes DMC floss colors, fabric sizing, and an editable preview before you export the finished PDF.

Keeping the enamel shine readable

Enamelware depends on highlight placement. Work the lightest blue and white stitches around the kettle's curved shoulder first, then fill the deeper cobalt areas around them so the metal reads as glossy rather than flat.

Built for real projects

From picture to a chart you can actually stitch

A useful photo-to-cross-stitch pattern maker needs to do more than pixelate an image. It should simplify the picture, map it to real thread colours, and leave you in control of the final chart.

Real DMC floss colours

Every generated colour is matched to a DMC thread code, so the chart maps to floss you can actually buy and stitch with.

Cleaner, more stitchable charts

Stitchability controls smooth noisy areas and reduce isolated confetti stitches while keeping the subject recognisable.

Private browser processing

Your photo is processed on your device. It is not sent to StitchBitz or stored on a server.

Edit before you download

Adjust colours, remove stitches, add backstitch detail, and check the floss list before exporting a PDF or JPG.

Better source, better chart

What pictures work best for cross stitch?

You can turn any image into a cross stitch pattern, but a few simple choices make the finished chart cleaner and easier to recognise.

Choose one clear subject

Pets, portraits, flowers, ornaments, and simple objects usually translate more cleanly than a crowded scene.

Look for contrast

A well-lit subject that stands apart from its background is easier to simplify into distinct thread colours.

Crop before adding detail

Frame the part you care about first. A tighter crop gives the available stitches to the subject instead of empty space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this blue enamel kettle cross-stitch pattern beginner-friendly?

Yes. The kettle shape is clear and the palette is mostly grouped into blue, cream, and warm gold areas. 14-count Aida keeps the grid easy to follow while still leaving enough room for the trim details.

Which DMC colors are used for the kettle?

Expect deep and mid blues for the enamel, pale highlights for the shine, and warm yellows or browns for the gold accents. The exact DMC floss codes and skein estimates appear in the generated key below.

What can I make with a kitchen cross-stitch chart like this?

A blue kettle motif works well as framed kitchen art, a tea nook decoration, or a small panel for a recipe binder cover. On 14-count Aida the 15x15 cm format is compact enough for a hoop or simple square frame.
