Pattern description
This spirited Halloween cross-stitch features a bold red-robed witch in mid-cackle, complete with a classic pointed hat, broomstick, and glowing jack-o'-lantern companion. The warm golden and russet tones of the pumpkin contrast beautifully against her vibrant crimson outfit, while the blue broomstick adds a playful accent. The composition captures joyful Halloween magic rather than spooky darkness.
At 89 x 89 stitches, this counted cross-stitch pattern utilizes 29 DMC thread colors, making it a rewarding intermediate-level project. The color palette—rich reds, warm golds, deep browns, and bright accent threads—creates dimensional, eye-catching needlework that rewards careful stitching. On 14-count Aida fabric, the finished piece will measure approximately 6.5 x 6.5 inches.
Perfect for Halloween décor, gift-giving, or displaying year-round on shelves and walls, this cheerful witch design brings festive personality to any space. The pattern works wonderfully as a framed piece for a kitchen or entryway, or incorporated into Halloween pillows and seasonal wall hangings. Stitchers seeking a satisfying mid-level challenge will appreciate the color complexity and detailed character work this pattern demands.
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.
