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.

Quick Tip: How to Keep Cross Stitch Fabric from Fraying

One of the most common problems that cross stitchers at all skill levels have is that the cross stitch fabric can start fraying while you stitch.

Beginner cross stitchers might wonder why this happens and if there is something they are doing wrong to cause it.

The reason cross stitch fabric frays is because it is a woven fabric, and the nature of any kind of woven fabric (whether that’s cross stitch fabric, a torn up towel or a piece of fabric you’re going to sew) is that it wants to fray.

It’s not necessarily a huge deal if you cross stitch fabric starts fraying mid-project if you have left a lot of extra fabric around your stitching. But if there’s not much fabric to spare in order to be able to finish the project the way you want, you’ll want to do something to stop the fraying.

When I was growing up I remember my mom using masking tape for this purpose, but it turns out there are lots of different things that you can do to stop your cross stitch fabric from fraying.

Craft with Cartwright came up with 15 different things that you can try, which seems like a lot, but that just means you have lots of different things you can try.

If you don’t want to buy something, you can stitch along the edges. If you already have supplies like tape or glue, or access to pinking shears or a serger, there are lots of options you can try.

Some of these are more permanent than others, so it will depend a little bit on how you want to finish your cross stitch project as to which is the best choice for you. It’s a great idea to read through the whole list just so you can have them in the back of yoru mind the next time you start a project and think about how you would like to protect it.

You can find the whole list at Craft with Cartwright.

How do you like to stop fraying on your cross stitch projects? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
