Pattern description
Riding high on a golden broomstick with her black cat companion, this witch design captures the playful spirit of Halloween needlework. The composition places the orange-haired enchantress at center stage, one arm raised triumphantly while her feline familiar perches nearby on the straw bristles. Purple robes and a classic pointed hat complete the festive imagery, creating a design that feels both nostalgic and whimsical for counted cross stitch enthusiasts.
At 143 x 143 stitches with 18 DMC thread colors, this pattern sits at intermediate skill level—substantial enough to challenge developing stitchers without overwhelming beginners. The jewel-toned palette of purples, oranges, and teals against warm browns and blacks creates visual depth and dimension. Working through the 18 distinct color changes will build color-blending confidence while keeping the overall scope manageable for a weekend or two-week project.
Perfect for autumn decoration or gifted to Halloween lovers, this witch design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric. The playful subject matter makes it an ideal choice for stitching groups, craft room wall hangings, or festive seasonal displays. A printable PDF chart ensures easy reference during stitching, while the contained stitch count makes it practical for framing as finished needlework art.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
