Walking Dead Cross Stitch Patterns

I should know by now that there are cross stitch designs (as well as crochet patterns, and usually lots of other crafts as well) to go with any fandom you can think of, but with it being Halloween time I decided to look for Walking Dead cross stitch patterns and, naturally, I was not disappointed.

I’ll admit to not making it through the whole series, though my husband watched not only the full original series, but also all of Fear the Walking Dead. Whether you’re a fan of the zombie genre or know someone who is, you’re sure to enjoy these Walking Dead cross stitch patterns.

Let’s start with a look at the early cast, when times were, maybe not simpler, but at least the body count of humans was a little lower. This cross stitch cast includes baby Judith and Hershel, among others, which dates it pretty well, but if you’re a fan of the early series you can grab this pattern from Pixels in Stitches on Etsy.

Creatively Stitching has a cross stitch pattern that explains why the humans have to take a stand against the zombies, along with some colorful arms shooting out of the ground (did that ever happen in the show?) and some weapons of zombie (and human) destruction. You can also find this one on Etsy. It measures 150 by 125 stitches.

If Negan is your favorite, you might want to stitch this ode to Lucille from Etsy seller Satirical Stitching. It looks like it uses three colors and the designer says it fits nicely in a 4 by 6 inch frame.

And if you’re looking for an immense project for a Walking Dead superfan, consider this movie poster style design from Zanna Cross Stitch on Etsy. This stunner is definitely for cross stitches with a lot of experience. It is 330 by 400 stitches and it’s solid stitching, using 54 different colors. When finished it will be 23.4 by 28.4 inches if worked on 14-count fabric. And well worth all that work for someone who really loved the show! (They have other options in a similar style if you want to go looking.)

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools.

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there.

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few.

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital.

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric.

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well.

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders.

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions.

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
