Free Halloween cross stitch patterns

Free Halloween cross stitch patterns for a quick spooky project: a jack-o-lantern, a ghost, a bat, a black cat, a spider web and trick-or-treat candy. Each one is a free printable PDF with the chart, a DMC thread key and how many skeins to buy.

Tips for stitching Halloween patterns

  • Each pattern is about 35 stitches across, around 2.5 inches on 14-count Aida, so most take a single evening.
  • Try black or orange Aida. Light threads stand out on dark fabric, and the white ghost needs colored fabric to show at all.
  • Finish them as cards, bookmarks or felt-backed ornaments for a trick-or-treat basket.

Questions

Are these Halloween patterns really free?

Yes. Every pattern downloads as a free printable PDF with the chart, the thread key and floss amounts, and no account is needed. You can stitch them as gifts or sell the finished pieces.

What fabric is best for Halloween cross stitch?

14-count Aida in black, orange or cream. Black makes bright colors glow, which suits the pumpkin and the candy; the ghost needs a colored fabric so its white shows.

Can I change the colors?

Yes. Open any pattern in the editor to swap or merge colors, for example to stitch the black cat in DMC 310 black. Your changes are saved as your own copy.
