Beetlejuice Cross Stitch Patterns

With the release of the new Beetlejuice movie and Halloween sneaking up on us, it seems like a good time to share some Beetlejuice cross stitch patterns.

At the most basic there’s the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice pattern from Brianna Lentz. This free pattern is worked in a single color and is a perfect fit for a 5×7 picture frame.

We also know we should never trust the living, as this design from Avocado Stitchery reminds us. This one also uses only one color but has a lot of back stitching to make the design around the lettering. It’s made to fit in an 8-inch hoop.

One of the most iconic items in the original Beetlejuice movie is the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, and you can stitch the cover with this pattern form Aliton Embroidery on Etsy. It uses six colors and measures 84 by 112 stitches. That’s 6 by 8 inches or 15.24 by 20.32 cm on 14 count fabric. The designer suggests using black or chocolate brown fabric for this one to mimic the book in the movie.

Stitch up cute versions of the Beetlejuice characters with this design from Geeky Stitches. I can’t wait for some of these from the new movie! This set includes Beetlejuice, Lydia, Barbara and Adam and is 80 by 70 stitches. It comes out to 4 by 3.21 inches, or 10 by 8.15 cm, on 14 count fabric and uses 17 colors.

Or you can stitch a creepy version of Beetlejuice himself with Raven Stitch Craft’s design. This woodcut style design is a showstopper that uses six colors and has a stitch are of 233 by 233 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 16.6 inches or 42.3 centimeters.

For another big and dramatic project from the movie, check out zegihoops‘ design for Dante’s Inferno Room. This one is 238 by 190 stitches, or 17 by 13.6 inches (43.2 by 34.5 cm) on 14 count fabric (both of these patterns offer other fabric options to make it larger or smaller). While the size of it might make it more of a challenge, it also looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch for a Beetlejuice lover.

Funny Avocado Cross Stitch Patterns

The designs from Bella Rose Craft look like they would be good for beginner cross stitchers and others who like relatively simple and small designs that are quick to finish for gifts or decor.

I’ll mention up front that this Etsy shop based in Indiana has no organization whatsoever. There are two categories: kits and patterns. So it’s a bit of a treasure hunt to find what you might be interested in.

As mentioned there are lots of minis and small looking projects with simple lines and minimal colors. There are holiday projects, animals, summer motifs like palm trees and beach umbrellas, a bathtub with a rubber duck, some text based designs (like hoppy spring and merry and bright), some biblical and religious designs, flowers, bunting and more.

On a site like this its difficult to pick something representative of the whole page, but I liked this bees and beehive design, so it’s the one I picked to share. This one illustrates a lot of my general points about the patterns from this shop. It’s small (2.79 by 2.57 inches, or about 7 by 6.5 cm on 14 count fabric), it looks like it’s all whole cross stitches and probably uses only six colors, and a couple of colors are only used for a handful of stitches.

Of the 300 plus cross stitch patterns available as of this writing, 140 are also available as cross stitch kits. These would be great to give as gifts if you’re trying to get someone interested in cross stitching. The kits include the pattern, fabric and floss, and you can choose to have it include a needle or not. The hoop is not included but the patterns explain what kind of hoop is shown if you want to get one to match.

So if you’re looking for cute, beginner friendly patterns for yourself or you’re trying to be a crafty enabler for someone else, check out Bella Rose Craft on Etsy.
