Adorable Halloween Cross Stitch Patterns

September 20, 2024 by Sarah White

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.

Designer Spotlight: Murder Puffin

I’ve long had a soft spot for puffins, so of course when I found an Etsy shop called Murder Puffin I had to share it. 

And I’m so glad I found it because they’ve got some weird stuff that I hope you’re going to like as much as I do. 

There are cryptids and true crime, nautical themed designs, holiday wanted posters and an entire section called memento mori. So if that sounds like something you’d be into, read on. 

The biggest section on the site, though, is Altoid tin cross stitch patterns. If you can’t quite imagine what an Altoid tin cross stitch pattern would be like, this mummy cross stitch tin is a pretty representative example.

Most of them have a character (in this case, the mummy, but it could be anything from an alien to a racoon to a gnome) or more than one, who is made into a tiny stuffed doll. There’s a design for the top and bottom inside of the tin; here it’s a pyramid and an anhk design. There’s also a small design for the top of the box. And finally, a kind of blanket and a pillow so you can tuck your little character into the box. 

Each one is a cute little set that would be so fun to display (and play with!) on your desk or bookshelf. And there’s a great range of options to choose from. 

In addition to those, you’ll find a lot of other fun stuff for the strange and unusual on your gift list. There are some delightfully creepy (and mostly cryptid-inspired) tarot cards. A whole set of dark samplers called Gothic murder family. And a section called potted cross stitch, with little designs like mushrooms, plants and pumpkins you can stitch up and “plant” in tiny pots. 

There’s so much fun stuff you really just need to stop reading this and go visit Murder Puffin on Etsy. I hope you find it as delightful as I do!
