Skull Cross Stitch Patterns

I’ve shared most of my collected Halloween cross stitch patterns already, but I did see this cool skull pattern from LoveCrafts that I wanted to share so I decided to hunt for a few more skull cross stitch patterns for you. If you’re getting ready for Halloween or Dia de los Muertos, these designs are fun to stitch and only a little creepy.

To start with, this skull from LoveCrafts is a free pattern that is considered for intermediate stitches. It would be fun to stitch up and frame or add to a bag for trick or treating.

This teensy skull cross stitch pattern from Stitch Fabulous on Etsy is a great one for beginners or if you just want a project you can finish in an afternoon. It is 19 by 19 stitches, worked in white on black cross stitch fabric, and is so cute in a tiny hoop!

Stitch a sampler of skulls with this pattern from The Stitch Patterns on Etsy. It’s worked on white fabric so you’re actually stitching all that black around the skulls, but that gives it a fun look. It’s about 7 inches square on 14 count fabric and looks pretty easy to stitch.

If you like your skulls to be a little fancier, there’s a whole collection of embellished skulls form Etsy seller Stitch a Quote. The whole collection is 12 designs, including a skull wearing a witch hat, a skull with snakes going through the eye sockets, a skull with a cactus growing out of the top and a skull and cross bones with a bow, to name a few.

The Stranded Stitch has a great little set of sugar skull cross stitch patterns in bright colors that would be super fun to stitch and have around as decoration through the fall. The full design is 51 by 63 stitches, or you could stitch them individually to make minis for cards, bookmarks and other projects.

I don’t know why it still surprises me that there are cross stitch patterns available for almost anything you can think of. I wasn’t looking for pool themed cross stitch patterns, but in scrolling around Etsy looking more generally for summer cross stitch patterns, I found a lot of pool patterns so I figured I should share them.

I love the colors in these designs, almost as cool as sliding into the pool on a hot day.

The first one I found was Pool Party by Milky Stitch. It features someone lounging in the pool, someone lounging next to the pool, and some fun accessories you might need for a day at the pool. It uses 20 colors and was designed for 11 count fabric, which means it comes out to 12.2 by 8.2 inches, or 31 by 21 cm.

Pastel Pool from Stitch Me Good Designs looks like it would fit right in with Pool Party on a gallery wall. This one uses seven colors and 14 count fabric and fits in a 7-inch hoop.

Speaking of gallery walls, if you want a room full of summer sun and pool themed cross stitch, check out this trifecta of pool designs from Craft Bundle Lab. There’s a women floating in a pool with a large hat, a float in a pool and several floats and pool toys in another pool with a fun checkerboard bottom. Each design uses 12 colors and they are about 14.6 inches/37 cm square worked on 14-count fabric.

This designs from Cross Stitchers United shows three people floating in a pool in different ways. This one has cross stitched water, or you can stitch it on blue fabric and save yourself some time. As shown it uses nine colors and is 94 by 94 stitches, which is 6.7 inches or 17 cm square on 14-count fabric.

The Swimmers in a Pool cross stitch pattern from Thread Nova Studios is delightful. It’s stitched with everyone wearing red suits, but you could change up some of them — or even just one of them — to change the look of the project. This one uses 14 colors and is 200 by 200 stitches. That’s about 14.3 inches/36.3 cm on 14 count fabric, though the pattern includes sizing for other stitch counts, too.

And finally the pool pattern from The Lady at Home just makes you wish you could jump right into it. The pool with floats looks super inviting, and it is stitched on 14-count fabric with a finished size of 5 by 7 inches/12.7 by 17.8 cm.
