Haunted House Cross Stitch Patterns

September 18, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

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.

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
