by

Scary ghouls, silly ghosts and everything in-between—grab your black and orange floss, because it’s time for Halloween! This special Halloween issue from Just CrossStitch includes 50+ patterns that are sure to get you in the spooky spirit. Find frame-worthy pieces, decorative pillows, handy bookmarks and creative decor, plus 30 crowd-favorite Halloween ornaments.

  • Don’t be scared! Stitch a spooky scene of costumed children summoning their courage to walk the jack-o’-lantern–lined trail to the dark house on the hill. Will their moonlit trek betwixt crooked trees be rewarded with tricks or treats?
  • Sweet inspiration! This Halloween Lollipop Spool is a twist on the classic treat by hanging a circular scene on a wooden dowel held in place by a spool. Once finished, a wicked witch flies on her broomstick over a row of trick or treaters.
  • An autumn ornament, with a hint of Halloween! The Floral Spiderweb features a delicate spider surrounded by bright fall flowers with a subtle webbed detail.

Plus, you won’t want to miss featured patterns from some of our favorite designers along with new creations from upcoming cross-stitch artists! Download (or subscribe!) today!

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
