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.

Ghost Cross Stitch Patterns

Last fall I came across this cross stitch pattern for a sea turtle and I talked myself out of sharing it right away because tropical animals don’t feel like a “fall” thing, but now that it’s summer again, let’s take a look at some cross stitch patterns for creatures that live in or around the sea.

This sea turtle design from Witch Wolf Web Creations is literally just a chart with no grid to help you count stitches or suggested colors, but I would print it out and add a grid to make it easier to stitch. You can work it in many colors as shown, or there’s also a black and white version so you could just do it in a single color.

Stitch up some fish or a seahorse with this bundle of four tropical fish cross stitch patterns from LaSelva Design. It includes a clownfish, seahorse, moorish idol and blue tang, all of which vary in size and colors used, but they’re all really cute.

Or you can stitch a tank’s worth of tropical fish with this project from SamXstitch. There are 22 fish in all on this project, which measures 153 by 153 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm. It uses 15 colors.

I also love the jewel-toned fishies on this project from Velvet Pony Design. This one has seven fish and a seahorse and measures 113 by 140 stitches. That’s just over 8 by 10 inches or 20.5 by 25.4 cm on 14 count fabric, though you can make it smaller with a higher fabric count. It calls for 24 colors.

This vintage design from Past Pattern Palooza Co has a whole school of little fish. The design is 120 by 260 stitches and uses 30 colors. It measures 8.57 by 18.57 inches (21.7 by 47.2 cm) on 14 count fabric. The pattern notes say there are 69 designs in total, an individual fish range from 1.5 to 3 inches, or 4.5 to 8 cm.

You can stitch up a whole tropical world complete with coral using this design from Easy Stitching Outlet (though I don’t think this one is particularly easy). At 219 by 95 stitches, on 14 count fabric it will come out to 15.6 by 6.8 inches, or 39.73 by 17.24 cm.
