Designer Spotlight: MoonLit Patterns

October 5, 2025 by Sarah White

MoonLit Patterns is a UK-based Etsy shop full of spooky, gothic, cottagecore, and more with a magical twist. 

One of the biggest categories on the site is “enchanted girls,” which includes women in different cozy scenes like stitching, writing in a journal and hanging out with butterflies. 

I like this one of a gardener watering her plants and surrounded by flowers. The design is 200 by 200 stitches, which comes out to 14.3 inches or 36.3 square centimeters. It uses 38 colors.  

Another large category is Halloween and spooky, which includes creepy houses, scenes in Mason jars, dusty bookshelves, black cats, dancing skeletons and ghosts on a train. Related is Gothic and dark academia, which has lots of crows and fantasy inspired designs with rich colors that look like stained glass windows.

There’s also celestial and fantasy, which is heavy on adorable dragons and fairies. And cottagecore and nature, where you’ll find a hobbit hole, mushrooms, cherry blossoms and mountain scenes. 

There are also traditional Christmas patterns with Santa flying over different scenes, Christmas markets, gingerbread houses and other cozy scenes. There are sections for both animals and floral and birds and floral, with the bird section mostly being song birds (there’s a duck and bats in the animals section, so you might want to browse around if you’re looking for a particular animal). 

In addition to all the individual patterns (and there are more than 600 as of this writing) the shop also has a range of pattern bundles that include lifetime access to the currently available patterns on that theme as well as access to all future patterns that fall into that category. 

Current options include things like Dark Academia, fantasy and nature, as well as books, Christmas and Halloween. You can even buy the whole shop and all future patterns if you find that you like this shop’s style.

Hanukkah Cross Stitch Projects

Hanukkah is a great reason to pull out your cross stitch fabric and thread and stitch up some fun seasonal cross stitch patterns. 

If you have trouble spelling Hanukkah (I know I do!) you’ll want to stitch up the How Do You Spell… project from SKB Cross Stitch Design. This one includes a bunch of different ways to spell the holiday, along with some symbols like a dreidel and menorah. (Technically I think all the ways to spell it are “correct.”) The pattern includes full, fractional and bask titches, and measures 8.5 by 7 inches, or 21.6 by 17.8 cm. It has the date for 2004/5785 but you can easily change the year or leave that part off. 

Another project with some fun word play is the Words to Live By chart from Sam Brie Stitches. This one includes Hanukkah related symbols and word presented crossword puzzle style, which is fun to stitch and to display. The design uses 10 colors and measures 74 by 103 stitches. It’s shown worked on 18 count fabric. 

I may have shared these before, but the Hanukkah patterns from the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery are so cute they’re definitely worth sharing again. Happy Hanukkah features a menorah, dreidels, gelt, stars and candles, and it fits in a 6-inch hoop. At 75 by 75 stitches, it comes out to 5.4 inches/13.4 cm on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen. They also have this cute little dreidel stamp cross stitch pattern, which is 39 by 49 stitches, or 2.8 by 3.5 inches (about 7 by 9 cm) on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen. 

Works By ABC has a lot of great patterns for Hanukkah, but here are just a couple to get you started. The Rules for Dreidel design is fun for kids and adults and shows the different sides of the dreidel and what it means when you land on them. The stitch count is 62 by 94 and its shown worked on 32 count linen. It calls for three colors. I also like this menorah one, which measures 44 by 49 stitches and uses two colors along with coordinating seed beads. On 32 count linen as shown (equivalent to 16 count Aida) it measures 2.75 by 3.1 inches, or almost 7 by 7.8 cm.
