Adorable Halloween Cross Stitch Patterns

Sometimes we tend toward the creepy and spooky when it comes to Halloween cross stitch patterns, but I also really projects with a Halloween spin that are also just cute. So this time let’s give some space to some adorable Halloween cross stitch patterns that are all treats and no tricks.

Speaking of Halloween treats, I had to share this pattern because the designs look like slice and bake Halloween cookies, which made me laugh. This design from Far Our Handmade include a ghost, jack o’lantern and black cat on a cookie background. The design uses six colors and measures 115 by 37 stitches. On 14 count fabric it will come out about 8.25 by 2.25 inches, or 21 by 5.7 cm, but the pattern includes sizing for other counts if you want to make it smaller.

You should know by now I can’t resist a cat cross stitch pattern, so I had to include this super sweet witch kitten pattern from The Little Art Veranda. It looks quite detailed but only uses five colors. The design area is 126 by 126 stitches, and it fits nicely in a 9-inch hoop if you use 14-count fabric.

Adorable ghosts are also a favorite of mine, so if you feel the same, you can stitch up this sweet little one surrounded by flowers and a jack o’lantern. This one is from White Protea Art. It measures 66 by 65 stitches, or 4.7 by 4.6 inches (12 by 11.8 cm), which will fit in a 6-inch hoop.

Along the same vein, here’s another cute sheet ghost with its pumpkin and some fall leaves, courtesy of Crystal Feather Crafts. It measures 56 by 47 stitches, or 4 by 3.4 inches/10.2 by 8.5 cm. Both of these are extra cute stitched on black fabric.

If you’re looking for a set of coordinating hoops you can stitch up for your Halloween decor, these from Sam X Stitch are really cute. Featuring a bat, witch shoes and a pumpkin, they have a pretty color scheme using purple, orange, black and gray. There are eight colors in all, and each design is 109 by 109 stitches, making them 7.78 inches or 19.78 cm on 14 count fabric.

If you love patterns for frogs and sardines, animals, food, flowers and more, Happy Cross Stitchers has got you covered. With more than 1,600 patterns as of this writing, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something that cross stitch patterns featuring sardines are showing up everywhere (this is the second designer I’ve seen with them in the past month or so) but Happy Cross Stitchers has 60 sardine cross stitch patterns. They also have 200 patterns with flowers, and even more than that in their biggest category, which is animals.

Many of the animal cross stitch patterns have a modern nursery feel to them, like this set of four modern boho animal patterns featuring what I’m interpreting as owls, a moose (or it coulr be a deer), a donkey and a cow. Each individual pattern is 100 by 100 stitches and they use six or seven colors. The designs will come out to 7.1 inches or 18.14 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a large number of Christmas cross stitch patterns, with lots of trees, little houses, Santas and word art. There are lots of bunnies, eggs and chicks in the Easter section.

The modern designs include lots of colorful, graphic florals. There are also well over 100 butterflies, many of which at least look like they could be inspired by real butterflies (though none of them are labeled as to what kind of butterfly they are).

You’ll also find plenty of cute and often funny cat and dog cross stitch patterns, though there are a lot more cats than dogs represented. And then there’s the food section, with patterns for fruits, different kinds of toast, a jar of pickles, doughnuts and more.

And that’s not even all there is in this store! I guess all this is a long way of saying there’s a lot of fun patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCrossStitchers on Etsy and you should go browse because you’ll probably find something you like. And if you do, I’d like to hear about it!
