Nightmare Before Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns

September 14, 2024 by Sarah White

It’s time to head to Halloweentown and stitch up some fun Nightmare Before Christmas cross stitch patterns!

Even if you’re new to cross stitch you can make this simple Jack Skellington cross stitch pattern from StitchNSkulls. Because the fabric is white there’s not a lot of stitching to do, and the hoop makes it look just like a face. It measures 69 by 54 stitches and would fit nicely in a 6-inch hoop.

This Zero cross stitch pattern from Sydney Stitches Co also looks pretty easy, though the white is stitched on it so it uses four colors. The design is 76 by 96 stitches, or 5.4 by 6.7 inches/13.7 by 17 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another cool round design comes from Witty Stitch Co, which has Jack looking like the full moon and Oogie Boogie stretched out below. The design is 120 by 120 stitches and uses four colors.

The chibi style characters in this little set from Sokol Felt are so cute I don’t know how you could resist stitching them all. But of course you can just do one or two of your favorites if you’d rather. They’re all slightly different sizes but each fits in a 5-inch hoop, and they use a variety of colors depending on the design.

Speaking of the whole crew, Good Morning Maui has another cure version of the crew with the quote “Just because I cannot see it, doesn’t mean I can’t believe it.” It measures 100 by 124 stitches and uses 20 colors. The finished project is 7.1 by 8.9 inches, or 18.1 by 22.7 cm.

If you’re looking for something a little more complex, check out this collection of Jack and Sally patterns from Leila Stitch. Each design in 90 by 90 stitches and uses 14 colors.

Or try this gorgeous stained glass style Nightmare Before Christmas project from Ananterra Cross Stitch. This one is a whopping 225 by 704 stitches and uses 87 colors, which makes me feel a little faint just typing it, but what an amazing thing for a superfan of the movie to make or to receive? On 14 count fabric that comes out to 16.07 by 50.29 inches (40.8 by 127.7 cm), but sizing for other counts is given as well if you want to make it smaller.

Designer Spotlight: Happy Cross Stitchers

If you love patterns for frogs and sardines, animals, food, flowers and more, Happy Cross Stitchers has got you covered. With more than 1,600 patterns as of this writing, you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something that cross stitch patterns featuring sardines are showing up everywhere (this is the second designer I’ve seen with them in the past month or so) but Happy Cross Stitchers has 60 sardine cross stitch patterns. They also have 200 patterns with flowers, and even more than that in their biggest category, which is animals.

Many of the animal cross stitch patterns have a modern nursery feel to them, like this set of four modern boho animal patterns featuring what I’m interpreting as owls, a moose (or it coulr be a deer), a donkey and a cow. Each individual pattern is 100 by 100 stitches and they use six or seven colors. The designs will come out to 7.1 inches or 18.14 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

There’s also a large number of Christmas cross stitch patterns, with lots of trees, little houses, Santas and word art. There are lots of bunnies, eggs and chicks in the Easter section.

The modern designs include lots of colorful, graphic florals. There are also well over 100 butterflies, many of which at least look like they could be inspired by real butterflies (though none of them are labeled as to what kind of butterfly they are).

You’ll also find plenty of cute and often funny cat and dog cross stitch patterns, though there are a lot more cats than dogs represented. And then there’s the food section, with patterns for fruits, different kinds of toast, a jar of pickles, doughnuts and more.

And that’s not even all there is in this store! I guess all this is a long way of saying there’s a lot of fun patterns at www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCrossStitchers on Etsy and you should go browse because you’ll probably find something you like. And if you do, I’d like to hear about it!
