Project Hail Mary Cross Stitch

The movie Project Hail Mary came at the perfect time for us to continue our space joy after the Artemis mission, so let’s keep the fun going with some Project Hail Mary themed cross stitch projects.

Of course a lot of these projects feature the words “amaze amaze amaze,” like this one from Sew High School, which just features the words worked in a range of planetary colors. The design is 105 by 72 stitches, and uses a whopping 60 colors, but you could always use fewer if you like. Having each word in a single color or using variegated thread would be nice, too. On 14 count fabric this one measures 7.5 by 5.14 inches, or 19 by 13 cm.

Or stitch Rocky along with the iconic phrase with this design from John Gudmann Art. The pattern listing is low on details such as size or number of colors used, but it’s such a cute one I wanted to share it anyway.

There’s also this one from Milo Can Stitch, which is 89 by 91 stitches, so just about 6.5 inches/16.5 cm square. It uses 17 colors and looks like Rocky is doing a little dance, which is fun.

Another classic line from the book and the movie is “You sleep, I watch,” which feels kind of perfect for a baby’s room. This design from Carefree Cat Shop uses 11 colors and measures 49 by 37 stitches. That’s 2.8 by 3.7 inches, or about 7 by 9 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Soft Muse Studio Store reminds us you sometimes just need someone to be brave for with this design featuring Rocky and Grace. At 215 by 215 stitches, the finished project uses 13 colors and measures 15.4 inches, or 39 cm on 14 count fabric, which will fit in a 10-inch hoop. Other fabric counts are included if you want to make it smaller. (This designer has several cute Project Hail Mary cross stitch patterns so be sure to check them all out.)

I also love this colorful spacewalk design from Mercury Stitches. It is 50 by 70 stitches, which comes out to 3.6 by 5 inches (9.1 by 12.7 cm) on 14 count fabric. It uses 17 colors and is all full cross stitches, as well as some backstitching.

These mini Halloween cross stitch patterns are a great way to add to your holiday decor in a hurry.

The 28 tiny Halloween cross stitch patterns set from Aliton Embroidery includes all sorts of fun designs, from mushrooms and cats to a plague doctor, witch hat, bat and ghost. The designs vary a bit in size but the biggest ones are 20 by 22 stitches, which makes them 1.4 by 1.6 inches, or 3.63 by 3.99 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. Most ot he projects use three or four colors, but there are 22 colors used across the whole set.

Another great set of tiny designs comes from LaSelva Design. This set has 10 patterns, including a spider, ghost, skull and creepy, bloodshot eye. The largest one of these is 18 by 18 stitches, and all of them fit on 1.5 inch button covers.

This spook sampler from ONESEO is shown as one big piece but you could easily stitch the ones you like individually. Each little patchwork inspired design is the same size, and the full piece is 200 by 200 stitches, which makes each square a little smaller than 50 by 50. You can stitch a spell book or the full moon, an lantern or a pumpkin house, to name a few. In all the design uses 24 colors, and on 14 count fabric it comes out to 14.3 inches or 36.3 cm square.

These cute mini stamps are also shown as one design you can easily be broken up if you want a smaller project. This one is from And Wabi Sabi and includes a bubbling cauldron, crystal ball and coffin. The full design is 72 by 84 stitches, but each individual design would fit in a 3 inch hoop when stitched on 14 count fabric. The full design uses 15 colors.

Or there’s this little ghost from XCross Stitch PatternX, which fits in a 5 inch hoop. This one is 51 by 57 stitches and uses 12 colors. On 14 count fabric it measures 3.64 by 4.07 inches or 9.25 by 10.34 cm.
