Beetlejuice Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Mini Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns to Cross Stitch

I just can’t resist sharing a few more Halloween cross stitch patterns when they are as cute and quick to stitch as these!

This boo cross stitch from Luzatolye was the first little Halloween cross stitch pattern to catch my eye. I love the pumpkin Os! At just 23 by 8 stitches and using four colors, you can stitch it up in no time. On 14 count fabric it measures 1.6 by.5 inches, or about 4 by 1.27 cm. 

Another cutie from the same designer is this jack o’lantern with a witch hat. Another four-color project, this one is 14 by 18 stitches, which is an inch by just a little more than an inch, or around 3 cm square, worked on 14 count fabric. 

If you like your minis a little bit bigger, this jack o’lantern with leaves is from White Protea Art and measures 47 by 28 stitches. That comes out to 3.4 by 2 inches, or 8.5 by 5.1 cm, when stitches on 14 count fabric. It uses nine colors. 

Or there’s also this little cutie from that same designer. I love the little leaf on top of the pumpkin. At 33 by 36 stitches, it comes out to 2.4 by 2.6 inches, or 6 by 6.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. I think it uses around eight colors. 

Template Love Create also has two mini jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns that I like (I swear I didn’t plan to do two from each of the same designers, it’s just the whimsy of an Etsy search!). There’s one that is more round and one that’s oblong, which I like because it’s different from most of the pumpkin patterns you see. The pattern listings say both are six colors (though they look like four to me) and 28 by 28 stitches, but I don’t think that can be true. Either way they both fit in a 3 inch hoop and would be a super cute little addition to your Halloween decor.
