Pattern description
A spirited witch soars across this 82 x 82 stitch design, captured mid-flight on her broomstick with arms outstretched in pure delight. The pixelated figure features warm auburn curls, a pointed black hat with a crimson band, and a dark robe trimmed in rich red and gold. Her expression radiates joy and mischief, making this pattern perfect for stitchers who want to add personality and movement to their Halloween needlework collection.
The palette balances jewel-toned blacks and forest greens with warm golds, vibrant reds, and peachy skin tones that bring the witch to life. With 26 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, this counted cross stitch offers enough complexity to keep experienced stitchers engaged without overwhelming those progressing beyond basics. The balanced composition fits cleanly within the square format, ideal for framing or turning into a seasonal pillow.
Stitched on 14-count Aida, this cheerful witch works beautifully as Halloween décor, a gift for costume enthusiasts, or part of a larger seasonal display. The energetic pose and vivid color work translate gorgeously into finished pieces that capture the playful spirit of the holiday rather than the spooky.
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.
