Halloween Witch Cross Stitch Pattern

When fall comes around, pumpkins tend to steal the spotlight, but there are a lot of other fun gourds out there to stitch and decorate with. Let’s take a look at some gourd cross stitch patterns for fall. 

Stitch a little group of gourds with this design from Daily Cross Stitch. These don’t exactly look like pumpkins and squash you’d find in nature, but the polka dots, stripes and hearts do make them fun to stitch. The design is 73 by 60 stitches, and it uses 11 colors of floss. On 14 count fabric stitched as shown this one would be 5.21 by 4.29 inches, or 13.2 by almost 11 cm. 

This rustic gourds design from Rhondas Originals features seven gourds and a vineing leaf. The model shown is on 30 count linen worked over two threads, or you could use 15 count fabric to get the same size. This one come out to 6.75 by 5.5 inches, or about 17 by 14 cm. 

Pumpkin Harvest from Such A Stitch By Lena has a few pumpkins in it, but also other gourds and falling leaves. I love the colors in this one because it’s not just all orange and brown. As stitched it uses 31 colors and measures 150 by 150 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 10.7 inches or 27.2 cm square. 

Know the names of all the squash you might find in your kitchen with this squash cross stitch poster form The Compass Needle. You’ll find pumpkin, pattypan, turban and more on this fun project, which measures 85 by 118 stitches. That makes it 6 by 8.375 inches, or 15.2 by 21.3 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Get a little more artistic with your squashes and gourdes with this fun design from Happy Cross Stitchers. Another one with interesting colors, it uses 15 total and measures 110 by 143 stitches. Make it whatever size you like, but on 14 count fabric it will measure about 7.8 by 10.2 inches, or 19.96 by 25.94 cm.
