Jack o’Lantern Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns for pumpkins, but if you’re ready to stitch up some fun for spooky season, here’s a little collection of jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns to get you started. (Of course, uncarved pumpkins are perfect for now through Thanksgiving, but it’s always good to have options.

This easy jack o’lantern cross stitch pattern from StitchnSkulls on Etsy is worked on black cross stitch fabric so all you have to do it stitch the face. This one is perfect for framing in a round hoop (you’ll need a 4-inch hoop since the design itself is about 2.9 by 2.6 inches, and you want space around it). In total the design is 41 by 36 stitches and uses one color.

Another easy Halloween cross stitch pattern is this little jack o’lantern from Bella Rose Crafts on Etsy. It’s just a basic carved pumpkin, with a little bit of stem and vine, but in this case basic is also really cute. This one is also shown on a 4-inch hoop though the design is a little bit smaller at 2.07 by 2.21 inches.

Craft with Cartwright’s free pumpkin cross stitch pattern looks like a treat bucket complete with handle. It uses two colors and measures about 2.6 by 3 inches on 14 count fabric.

Make an array of pumpkin faces for a single project, or use them individually, with this design from Etsy seller CrossStitchFoxy. It’s shown with orange fabric and the pumpkins stitched in black, but you could also do the opposite, or use white or ercu and pumpkins of any color you like. The full design is 82 by 82 stitches, or 5.8 inches square.

I already shared a collection of black cat cross stitch patterns, but here’s another one that also fits over here. The Pumpkin Patch Big Stitch design is from Kooler Studio (designed by Barbara Baatz Hillman) and available from LoveCrafts. It features a black cat with a jack o’lantern and is 57 by 40 stitches.

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.
