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!

If you’re looking for a ton of easy cross stitch designs to use for Christmas projects, look no further than Claire Crompton’s The Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Collection, which includes more than 500 charts for tiny stockings, angels, ornaments and much more.

The book covers the materials you’ll use to create the projects, how to add beads and other embellishments, stitching techniques and instructions for finishing projects shown in the book.

You’ll find ideas for using the patterns such as making greeting cards, ornaments, wall hangings, napkin rings and patches, as well as ideas for adding stitching to ready made or semi-homemade gifts. There are also tips for framing and hanging projects, making an advent calendar and designing your own Christmas sampler.

The charts are arranged by theme like Christmas classics (bells, horns and candles), garlands including stockings and mittens, Christmas carols, advent motifs with numbers to make your own calendar, St. Nicholas, nativity projects, snowmen, Santa’s sleigh, snowflakes and snow themed projects, Shaker-style Christmas designs, Santa’s helpers and reindeer, tree decorations, snowy scenes, robins and other birds, angels, Christmas trees, penguins, baby’s first Christmas, Victorian-inspired designs, sweets and treats, Christmas flowers, child themed patterns, stitches for gift tags, fairies, bears both teddy and otherwise, 12 days of Christmas patterns, projects to work on linens for the table, sentiments for cards or other projects, and several sets of alphabets and numbers you can use to design your own projects.

There’s a really cute parcel alphabet that has the letters on presents and there are also elves and a Santa worked in, which would be cute for a project for a child or to make a sign for your house.

Patterns are shown several to a page with one key for all of the projects. The projects don’t say how big they are so you’ll have to count stitches on the chart and figure out how big they will be based on the fabric you are using.

Still, this is a nice, large collection of holiday themed cross stitch designs, which is great for people who like stitching projects big and small for Christmas.
