A Cross-Stitched Witch and Her Spider Friend

September 17, 2018 by Sarah White

witch cross stitch pattern

I don’t know why cross-stitch projects involving really cute witches are so appealing to me this year. Maybe because I have a nine-year-old daughter who makes a pretty cute witch and is not at all into the scary bits of Halloween.

Whatever the reason, this witch cross stitch pattern from Avrora CS, which is a free download at Craftsy, is something I’d really like to stitch.

It features a little witch dressed in purple with a spider making a web on her hat. I really like the border, which is kind of Gothic, like an old picture frame.

Are you stitching anything for Halloween? I’d love to hear about it!

    No and would like to learn cross stitching have any information on cross stitching for me I’m an adult and like your method of this stitching. Thanks.

Have you read?

Pencil Bookmark Cross Stitch Pattern

To celebrate back to school season, I wanted to make a fun and useful cross stitch pattern, so I decided on this cross stitch pencil bookmark. 

It’s a really easy pattern even though it calls for six colors. You definitely don’t have to use all the colors if you don’t want to, and you can use different colors to make a colored pencil instead of the traditional yellow one. 

These sorts of projects always end up taking longer than I imagined they would in my head, because I just don’t stop to do the math of exactly how many stitches are in a piece that’s 23 stitches by 74 rows (1,702, though not every single one of them is covered, most of them are). 

But because the coloring of the chart is so straightforward, I’d say it also doesn’t take as long as 1,700 stitches sounds, if that makes sense. Because you barely have to count anything and could make most of it without consulting the chart, you can get into a groove pretty easily and stitch whole sections in a single sitting. I had a lot of fun stitching this one and I think you will, too. 

Once the stitching is done, take a piece of felt and sew it to the back to hide the mess you’ve made and make it a nice smooth bookmark that’s easy to use in whatever book you might be reading. 

This is a fun one to make for yourself or a kid in your life who is going back to school. But it would also be a fun teacher appreciation gift or holiday gift, especially for an English teacher but really anyone would like this one I think. 

You can grab the free chart and get all the instructions for assembling your own cross stitch pencil bookmark over at Our Daily Craft.
