IT Crowd Cross-stitch
by Justin Garrison • 2006/12/02 • Main Menu • 179 Comments
I have mentioned the IT Crowd before and if you haven’t seen it yet you need to check out the recently released DVD or at least read some of the 1337 subtitles. In honor of the show my wife Beth has cross-stitched a great tribute the IT Crowd using a pattern we made from screen shots of the intro. Hope you enjoy!
*EDIT* I changed the post a little to allow everyone to see the pictures without having to go to my gallery. I also wanted to let everyone know that Beth got her site (www.defenestrateeverything.com) up and running now. Check out some more crafts she has done over there. For information on purchasing this pattern for the low, low price of $3.50, please comment on this post or email: beth at hartfeltcrafts dot com.

What a wonderful blend of crafts and Geeks. Being both a sysadmin and stitcher this is just too cool. Great job Beth.
Oh, how awesome! It would make the perfect present for a friend! Do you want to share the pattern? *looks hopeful*
Love it Beth! I just re-watched The IT Crowd on DVD with my boyfriend, it’s hilarious! As an avid knitter, I appreciate combining geek culture with crafting.

P.S. Can you please post this comment instead of my first one, in which I accidentally listed an incorrect website? Thanks!
Great job, Beth!
Seen on BoingBoing.net

Awesome. Is the pattern being shared?
if beth wanted to make this into a pattern, she could sell millions. i actually want to buy one! it’s one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen. i would hang it next to the photograph i have (from an ancient macworld) of a great dane with a mac keyboard in its mouth.
What? Are you from the past?
omg! can you put up a pattern that beginner cross-stitchers could follow? ps. i love the IT crowd
Hello everyone!
First, I want to thank each of you for your wonderful comments! 🙂
I also wanted to let you know that because I created the cross-stitch using screen shots from the show, my pattern would probably be a little confusing in its current form.
So… since ya’ll liked it so much, I’m going to try and create a more legible pattern that you can use if you’re so inclined. However, I don’t anticipate completing it before the holidays (life being so hectic and all). But, since my husband has your email addresses, we’ll send you updates as to the progress.
Also, this would be for your own personal use. I just don’t think it would be right making money off of someone else’s art, so the product of the pattern should not be sold (but I’m sure you knew that).
Anyway, thank you again, and I hope that you have as much fun with this as I did! 🙂
Please add me to the list of people rec’ing updates. What a great pattern! My husband will love it!
I’d love to know exactly how you did it – screen shot then Photoshop or did you use a program like MacStitch? Such a wonderful idea!
That’s fantastic, I too can think of a few friends who’d love this. Please add me to the list of people liking a pattern.
Geek Crafts really are the best.
(Seen via the CRAFT blog.)
I love it! Please let me know when there is pattern.
I was just about to request the pattern too! Great work. I love the IT crowd, but am inept at making cross stitch patterns. Please keep us posted 🙂
I liked the design so much I had to see what all the fuss was about the show. And then I watched every episode I could get my hands on. Too bad they don’t have it on DVD in the states.
Wow! That’s fantastic. It’s one of those forehead-slapping “Why Didn’t I Think Of That !?” moments. When you get the pattern up, please let me know.
That’s simply beautiful. Please could I be added to the list of pattern updateds?
W00t! Simply brilliant! I join the chorus in pleading for a pattern. This is my family’s most re-watched show of all time.
And here comes a new pattern info request. 🙂 Thanks Beth, this is so good looking!
Hiyas,
Only yesterday I felt the sudden urge to cross-stitch something (novice that I am) and took a disappointing stroll through Michaels before realizing there was frankly nothing hip enough to spend my time and eyesight on. How cool to stumble on this beautiful piece of work! (linked from Graham Linehan’s LiveJournal)
This is a very, very cool cross-stitch. Please let me know if you make the pattern available. Thanks a lot 🙂
Hello once again!
My sincerest apologies for taking this long to bring an update to you. Life got way busier than expected, but I now have some time (finally!) to create the pattern for you if you are still interested.
Again, thanks to each of you for your gracious comments. 🙂
You’ll be hearing from us soon!
Beth, what a great project!!
Please put me on the list to get a pattern. Will you include which colours you used?
This is one of my favourite shows. Fantastic!
Love the pattern! I would love a copy if you get a chance. My husband would plotz if I stitched him one!
This is really fantastic!
I also would love a copy of the pattern. Any chance you’re sending any out?
Great work!

Hi Beth!
I know you’re getting a lot of these, but may I request a pattern too? My housemates and I want to start having “arts and crafts” nights together and this would be the best thing to join all our interests!
I’ll send you photos of us all if it goes ahead!
Cheers,
Bec
Please add my name to the list for a copy of the pattern.
Thank you!

P.S – its great that cross stitch is now seen as “semi-cool” in my hubbies eyes!
I am just leaving a comment myself to say that everyone that has already commented should have received the pattern. If you have not please let me know by commenting or sending me a email.

I would like to learn to cross stitch and IT Crowd is the house favorite here! Would you please add my name to the list for getting a pattern? It’s just so perfect!
Thanks so much for your great work!
-Rachel
It’s absolutely fabulous! Two great loves of mine – cross stitch / crafting & the IT crowd! I know you’ve probably been inundated with requests for the pattern, but if it’s not too much bother I’d love to have a copy as well.
Cheers,
Ali
I have to have this cross stitch template for my office, it’s fantastic. i work in IT and we all subscribe to the IT Crowd mantra, it has to go up in the department. PLEASE SEND IT TO ME!! PLEASE?

Hello Beth
The family ( expat in Australia) are big IT crowd fans, my daughter has
a 17th birthday coming and used to do cross stitch
so the perfect combination,
i would be very grateful if you could send the pattern.
thanks
greg
Great job on the cross stitch! Would it be possible to have access to the pattern for this? I would love to dress up my office wall and this would be the perfect project 😀
Hiya, I’m just getting started in the whole crafts thing for the first time in 14 years, and this really caught my eye. Love it, in fact. I was wondering if I may join the pattern grabbing ranks? Pretty please?
But for serious, this is really well done and you should be very proud of it.
Hey there. I don’t know if you’re still sending it out or if you have posted the pattern somewhere but I would love it if I could.
Thats so cool. I first came across this comdy when i was at uni, and loved it from the word go. Now i have my BF totally addicted. I would love a copy of the cross stitch pattern as not only am i a great fan, but im a crafty person too!!
Cheers, Sara (down under aussie)
That is the coolest craft object I have ever seen. If you don’t mind, I would love the pattern!
Can I please have the pattern? This would be a perfect christmas gift for my mum. Thank you!!!
Hi Beth! I would also like, if possible, to get the pattern please!
Can’t believe I haven’t run across this earlier – being an IT Crowd fan and a cross-stitcher since the 80s!
Is it still possible to get the pattern? I would love to get my hands on this! Thanks ~
I LOVE this! Is the pattern still circulating?
Many thanks.
This is an amazing cross-stitch! Any way the pattern could be sent my way?
Great job and so creative! I came across this by accident searching for a pattern totally unrelated and was pleasantly surprised. I am leaving a comment to request a pattern also, or if you could just let me know what colors you used, I could create a pattern on my own since the pictures on here are so detailed. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Beth! I stumbled across a picture of your cross stitch online the other day and fell in love with it! It’s genius! My boyfriend and I have been downloading each episode as they come out online, as it’s not airing anywhere I can find in Canada yet. Just watched the last episode of season 3, and I swear it just gets funnier. If you’re still sending out the pattern for your cross stitch, I would really love a copy. I have the perfect place for a wonderful piece of geek art like that! Thanks so much!!
Hello, I also need the pattern, please send it to me.
Thanks, very good work.
From Spain.

Wow! This is simply amazing! I love computers, my wife loves cross-stitch, and we both love The IT Crowd, so this would be great if she could make it! If the pattern is available yet, sign me up! Simply incredible, well done!

I discovered this series about two years ago and I love it!! Then, it was translated to our language (Spanish) but it wasn’t the same….
Well, the thing is that I was looking for a geek pattern to cross-stitch or quilt (if it was easy enough) and…I found this awesome project!!! I tried to manage just with the photos you posted, but I still need some help and I’d like to know if the pattern is still available. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Beth,
I left a message on”my happy place” which I think is your blog. I would love to buy an IT crowd cross stitch from you if you are interested. Otherwise if the pattern is still available I could attempt to make one myself. SO cool!!!! I would love to hear back from you! Thanks so much
If the patten is still available could I have a copy please?
I hate to be redundant, but I would love to have a pattern as well. My boyfriend recently introduced me to the series and we’ve both fallen in love with it. Thanks!

OMG….I MUST have one of these! Thought I was the only person who thought the start titles of It crowd could be transformed to cross stitch…. it would definately beat my current x-stitch project….a dougal from the magic roundabout picture (yawn!)….do you still happen to have a copy of the pattern?

Ps, if you don’t watch this already, you may enjoy the Mighty Boosh, as both Noel Fielding (Richmond) and Richard Ayoade (Moss) are both in it. However, Noel is one of the two main characters, where as Richard is a side character.
Hmm… now that I think of it, I don’t think I saw the picture of the cross stitching on geekcrafts.com… although, I can’t for the life of me figure out WHERE I saw it now… hmm… this is going to bother me…
