Charts, patterns and everything needlepoint
HoboLoco has a plethora of free patterns for Halloween including this cute little moon that would be perfect for a pin. I can see it stitched in glow-in-the-dark floss too. Wouldn’t that be cute?
Looking for more fun Halloween Cross-stitch patterns and charts? Check out these Halloween themed Cross stitch designs on Etsy.
If you’re a fan of detailed and colorful cross stitch patterns, Design for Cross Stitch might have a pattern you want to try. This Etsy shop is based in Spain and has more than 50 designs with a focus on animals, holidays and landscapes.
I’m just going to start with the first pattern that caught my eye when I visited the site, which is this Sakura by the Lake project. This pattern is 200 by 200 stitches and the whole background is stitched, so it’s definitely not for a beginner, but it’s stunning and would be amazing to make for someone who loves Japan. Despite the detail it only uses 24 colors. Worked on 14 count fabric it will measure 14.64 inches, or 37.19 cm.
There are a few other landscape designs, including a canal in Venice and a few cabins in the woods.
The shop also has some cute animal cross stitch, with big, round faces and often holding a warm beverage. Holiday projects focus on Christmas and Halloween. Most of the patterns have a cute, chibi-like feel, but there are some that are more detailed and realistic as well. Take for examples the flower patterns, which are full of details and soft colors.
You’ll also find some fun bookmark cross stitch patterns with a watercolor feel, as well as some that look kind of like paint pouring turned into stitches.
If this sort of stuff sounds like fun to you, check out their Etsy store at Design for Cross Stitch.

I found this website a few weeks ago and saved all these tiny Halloween patterns too. I want to use them all in some type of Halloween picture with spooky letters to make something for my friend. Halloween is her favorite holiday!
