Hocus Pocus Cross Stitch Patterns

To celebrate the new Hocus Pocus 2, I thought it would be fun to check out some stitched Sanderson Sisters and Hocus Pocus cross stitch patterns. It’s time to run amuck amuck amuck, or at least stitch up a storm!

Keep it simple with these Hocus Pocus character costumes (and a black cat for good measure). You can add face details if you like or just keep them with blank faces. Get this one from Design by JMS.

If you’re the type who’s always saying movie quotes, this glorious morning cross stitch pattern from Love that Stitch Store might be just the thing for you. Or if you just hate mornings.

Or try the Come We Fly design from Moon Cult 5000, complete with the sisters’ signature brooms. And vacuum.

Then there’s the Sanderson Sampler, with lots of fun elements form the movie, from Geeky Stitches.

xSherrisStitchesx also had a fun circular sampler style pattern that says It’s just a bunch of hocus pocus and amuck, amuck amuck.

The Witch Sisters Coffee Cups pattern made me laugh out loud. If the Sanderson Sisters were coffee drinks, this might be what they would look like. It’s a fun nod to the movie without being too obvious, and it’s great for the PSL loving witch in your life. The design is from MIYA Stitch.

I also love this fake advertisement for the Sanderson Witch Museum, home of the black flame candle, from Rainy Day Cross Stitch. It’s just the thing to stitch up while you want the new movie!

To celebrate back to school season, I wanted to make a fun and useful cross stitch pattern, so I decided on this cross stitch pencil bookmark.

It’s a really easy pattern even though it calls for six colors. You definitely don’t have to use all the colors if you don’t want to, and you can use different colors to make a colored pencil instead of the traditional yellow one.

These sorts of projects always end up taking longer than I imagined they would in my head, because I just don’t stop to do the math of exactly how many stitches are in a piece that’s 23 stitches by 74 rows (1,702, though not every single one of them is covered, most of them are).

But because the coloring of the chart is so straightforward, I’d say it also doesn’t take as long as 1,700 stitches sounds, if that makes sense. Because you barely have to count anything and could make most of it without consulting the chart, you can get into a groove pretty easily and stitch whole sections in a single sitting. I had a lot of fun stitching this one and I think you will, too.

Once the stitching is done, take a piece of felt and sew it to the back to hide the mess you’ve made and make it a nice smooth bookmark that’s easy to use in whatever book you might be reading.

This is a fun one to make for yourself or a kid in your life who is going back to school. But it would also be a fun teacher appreciation gift or holiday gift, especially for an English teacher but really anyone would like this one I think.
