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.)

Hanukkah is a great reason to pull out your cross stitch fabric and thread and stitch up some fun seasonal cross stitch patterns.

If you have trouble spelling Hanukkah (I know I do!) you’ll want to stitch up the How Do You Spell… project from SKB Cross Stitch Design. This one includes a bunch of different ways to spell the holiday, along with some symbols like a dreidel and menorah. (Technically I think all the ways to spell it are “correct.”) The pattern includes full, fractional and bask titches, and measures 8.5 by 7 inches, or 21.6 by 17.8 cm. It has the date for 2004/5785 but you can easily change the year or leave that part off.

Another project with some fun word play is the Words to Live By chart from Sam Brie Stitches. This one includes Hanukkah related symbols and word presented crossword puzzle style, which is fun to stitch and to display. The design uses 10 colors and measures 74 by 103 stitches. It’s shown worked on 18 count fabric.

I may have shared these before, but the Hanukkah patterns from the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery are so cute they’re definitely worth sharing again. Happy Hanukkah features a menorah, dreidels, gelt, stars and candles, and it fits in a 6-inch hoop. At 75 by 75 stitches, it comes out to 5.4 inches/13.4 cm on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen. They also have this cute little dreidel stamp cross stitch pattern, which is 39 by 49 stitches, or 2.8 by 3.5 inches (about 7 by 9 cm) on 14 count Aida or 28 count linen.

Works By ABC has a lot of great patterns for Hanukkah, but here are just a couple to get you started. The Rules for Dreidel design is fun for kids and adults and shows the different sides of the dreidel and what it means when you land on them. The stitch count is 62 by 94 and its shown worked on 32 count linen. It calls for three colors. I also like this menorah one, which measures 44 by 49 stitches and uses two colors along with coordinating seed beads. On 32 count linen as shown (equivalent to 16 count Aida) it measures 2.75 by 3.1 inches, or almost 7 by 7.8 cm.
