Haunted House Cross Stitch Patterns

September 18, 2023 by Sarah White

I came across a super cool Stephen King-themed haunted house cross stitch pattern the other day and knew I just had to share it, along with some other fun options for haunted house cross stitch patterns.

This one, from Witchy Stitcher on Etsy, is a very detailed design based on a few Stephen King novels. You’ll find Jack’s room from The Shining, Pennywise from It, Carrie in her blood-soaked dress and more. When stitched on 14-count fabric it comes out to 11.38 inches wide and 13.5 inches tall, or 159 by 189 stitches.

Teeny Weeny XStitch on Etsy has another cute (if it’s OK to call something this creepy cute?) haunted house filled with horror characters like Jason, a vampire, a ghost, mummy, scary clown and more. Each room of the house is 54 by 48 stitches and it was originally done as a stitchalong with 12 steps. In total it is 240 by 192 stitches and uses 90 colors. Really.

Falling in the more sweet than spook category for sure is the haunted house cross stitch pattern from Tiny Modernist, which includes people, skeletons, a witch, a vampire and ghosts. This one was also a stitchalong but it’s only six rooms instead of 12, so you might have time to finish it before Halloween. The design is 156 by 224 stitches, or 12 by 16 inches on 14 count fabric. It uses 20 colors.

If you’re proud of your haunted house, then you’ll want to stitch up this haunted house with rainbow flag windows from Shantay Stitches on Etsy. It uses 15 colors and fits in a 9-inch hoop when completed.

Or if you’re looking for a traditional sampler style pattern with spooky twist, try this one from Cara and Christi Brown. It features a haunted house and a funky alphabet, snakes and skulls and bats, as well as a super cute border made of pumpkins, leaves and spiders. It measures 111 by 157 stitches and is rated for intermediate stitchers.

Cross Stitch Patterns Fit for a Pool Party

I don’t know why it still surprises me that there are cross stitch patterns available for almost anything you can think of. I wasn’t looking for pool themed cross stitch patterns, but in scrolling around Etsy looking more generally for summer cross stitch patterns, I found a lot of pool patterns so I figured I should share them.

I love the colors in these designs, almost as cool as sliding into the pool on a hot day.

The first one I found was Pool Party by Milky Stitch. It features someone lounging in the pool, someone lounging next to the pool, and some fun accessories you might need for a day at the pool. It uses 20 colors and was designed for 11 count fabric, which means it comes out to 12.2 by 8.2 inches, or 31 by 21 cm.

Pastel Pool from Stitch Me Good Designs looks like it would fit right in with Pool Party on a gallery wall. This one uses seven colors and 14 count fabric and fits in a 7-inch hoop. 

Speaking of gallery walls, if you want a room full of summer sun and pool themed cross stitch, check out this trifecta of pool designs from Craft Bundle Lab. There’s a women floating in a pool with a large hat, a float in a pool and several floats and pool toys in another pool with a fun checkerboard bottom. Each design uses 12 colors and they are about 14.6 inches/37 cm square worked on 14-count fabric.

This designs from Cross Stitchers United shows three people floating in a pool in different ways. This one has cross stitched water, or you can stitch it on blue fabric and save yourself some time. As shown it uses nine colors and is 94 by 94 stitches, which is 6.7 inches or 17 cm square on 14-count fabric.

The Swimmers in a Pool cross stitch pattern from Thread Nova Studios is delightful. It’s stitched with everyone wearing red suits, but you could change up some of them — or even just one of them — to change the look of the project. This one uses 14 colors and is 200 by 200 stitches. That’s about 14.3 inches/36.3 cm on 14 count fabric, though the pattern includes sizing for other stitch counts, too.

And finally the pool pattern from The Lady at Home just makes you wish you could jump right into it. The pool with floats looks super inviting, and it is stitched on 14-count fabric with a finished size of 5 by 7 inches/12.7 by 17.8 cm.
