This is the big one. The most outrageous and insanely huge pattern I’ve found anywhere on the internet. It’s a combination of the first 5 generations of Pokemon, using generation 5 sprites. It’s basically a combination of the separate 5 epic pokemon generations cross stitch patterns we posted last week.
It’s a massive 798,000 stitches, with the finished piece well over a meter wide and tall on 14 count (almost 1.5m x 2m). If you attempt it, I salute you!
Stitch Count: 798w x 1000h
Finished Size: 57″ x 71.5″ or 145cm x 182cm (14ct)
Number of colors: 234 (DMC)
A few people have requested both color and black and white versions of the pattern. I’m working of this currently, however due to its size the program keeps crashing… :/
Lastly, the only person so far that is still stitching the pattern is samarin6 who last gave us the below update back in 2015, with just over 25% of the pattern complete; 3 years in. pokemon epic all generations cross stitch by samarin6 (source: spritestitch.com)
Some of the most requested Pokemon patterns out there, and seen as some of the most epic; Servotron’s epic Pokemon cross stitch patterns.
We’ve compiled all 5 of the versions, showing the first 5 generations of Pokemon in the generation 5 Pokemon sprites. Each pattern is the same size, and uses the same 105 master colors.
Stitch Count: 256w x 450h
Finished Size: 18.3″ x 32.1″ or 46.4cm x 81.6cm (14ct)
Number of colors: 105 (generation 1), 101 (generation 2), 105 (generation 3), 103 (generation 4) & 101 (generation 5) DMC
These patterns have been completed a few times (and we’ve even posted a few on the blog) and one of the greatest was by Eponases.
She even made this super awesome video timelapse:

I can’t tell you how many people have requested this pattern; it’s frankly shocking. However I used to sell it, but I’ve decided to help out the video game cross stitch community with this awesome space invader simple plan school cross stitch pattern.
It was also one of the first patterns I ever made… Oh, the memories!
Following on from last weeks free Pokemon cross stitch pattern, we also have another one! This time made by myself. I even won the Sprite Stitch monthly challenge with it!

You can have a bit of fun with this pattern too, I made a 3D version!
With Christmas on the horizon, it’s not too surprising that people have been asking me for my Pokemon baubles. These are actually designed by ristvak over at SpriteStitch but I was the first to stitch them, so I still get asked about them all the time!

Stitch Count: 414w x 394h
Finished Size: 30″ x 28″ or 75cm x 71cm (14ct)
Number of colors: 94 (DMC)
