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.
