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.)

I started writing this one as a designer spotlight kind of post, and then I realized when I was almost done with it that I had actually featured this designer before. It was in late 2024, so I’ll forgive myself for forgetting, but it’s worth taking another look at Mama Witch Cross Stitch. It looks like the shop has changed a bit since the last time I looked in, and you all just needed to see this amazing pattern anyway.

In the listing this one is called “whimsical opossum,” because of course it is. This little creature is sporting a straw hat and playing a banjo next to a crock of moonshine and surrounded by a wreath of pumpkins, mushrooms and other fall icons. Clicking through the images, though, I see it’s also called Possum Song, which is also pretty great.

Either way, the design is 144 by 130 stitches, which comes out to 10.29 by 9.29 inches, or about 26 by 23.5 cm on 14 count fabric.

This is not the only possum pattern offered by this shop, but you get the vibe from this one.

And to quickly check in on the rest of the shop, there are a great number of Halloween themed cross stitch patterns here, too, many with a sort of dark whimsy like mermaid skeletons, cat witches and a pumpkin-headed rider on a skeleton unicorn, to name just a few.

Another category worth noting, though it is much smaller, is “sad Victorian ghosts,” which features ghosts (sometimes in Victorian garb, sometimes not) going to the pub and the library, hanging laundry and taking a bath.

There are also a lot of Christmas designs, some sweet and some snarky, and a few creepy ones, too. Other categories include the new for 2026 “sunny patterns” (similar style motifs just with brighter colors and lighter backgrounds), as well as bookmarks and mini cross stitch designs.
