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: Stitching Elf Store

Stitching Elf Store is a small Etsy shop based in Ukraine with patterns that tend toward the floral, with lots of Christmas patterns and a few cats along the way, too. 

The largest category in the shop is “flowery pattern,” which includes floral designs, samplers and a few seasonal projects with text. I liked this Enchanted Poppies design because it reminds me of the colors of Ukraine. 

The pattern is 68 by 145 stitches and uses 24 colors, thanks to the kind of watercolor effect of the petals and leaves. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 4.9 by 10.4 inches, or 12.3 by 26.3 cm. 

Another large collection is Christmas patterns, which is heavy on sampler style designs, a couple of Christmas trees with different designs in the layers, some Christmas-themed biscornu patterns and a stocking with a chat and a bird on it. 

Other pattern highlights include a scattering of Valentine’s Day, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter patterns. The simply flowers series includes large, graphic flowers in bold colors. There are two sampler projects with a bird and a cat along with traditional flowers, and the purr cats patterns include larger cats with big, fluffy tails and more big, bold flowers. 

I particularly like the St. Patrick’s Day designs that feature shamrocks and thistles and Irish blessings. They’re traditional looking but also different enough to be interesting, if that makes sense. 

You’ll also find a few more biscornu patterns (see more about biscornu here) and a couple of Ukrainian floral bookmarks. 

The patterns are pretty, with a mix of traditional designs and more modern designs. Give them a look over at Stitching Elf Store on Etsy. 

Do you have a favorite cross stitch designer (or design patterns yourself) who should be in the spotlight? Let me know by leaving a comment with their shop link and a little bit about why you love them.
