Pattern description
This 135 x 135 stitch pattern captures a whimsical witch portrait in rich, muted jewel tones—deep purples, blues, and forest greens blend harmoniously around her pointed hat silhouette. The color palette creates an enchanting, moody atmosphere perfect for Halloween needlework without veering into harsh or overly bright territory. At intermediate skill level with 26 DMC thread colors, this counted cross stitch design offers a satisfying challenge for stitchers who've mastered basic techniques and are ready for more complex shading and color transitions. Create a striking piece for autumn décor or gift it to Halloween enthusiasts who appreciate subtle, sophisticated needlework. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the included DMC thread palette, this design translates beautifully into framed wall art or a decorative seasonal keepsake. The compact 135 x 135 count makes it manageable for weekend projects while delivering the polished, professional look of more demanding needlepoint art.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
