October 8, 2009 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Looking for more Halloween Embroidery Patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

Halloween is the perfect excuse to pull out darker threads, playful motifs, and slightly spooky designs, and this roundup is full of seasonal stitching inspiration. Over the years, many generous designers have shared free autumn and Halloween embroidery and cross-stitch patterns, and this post gathers together a selection of those festive designs in one place.

From cute and whimsical Halloween motifs to more traditional or slightly spooky stitchery, these patterns are ideal for small projects you can finish in time for October decorating. Whether you’re stitching for fun, making a handmade decoration, or adding a seasonal touch to your home, this collection offers something for both beginner and experienced stitchers.

Please note that all of these patterns were free at the time of writing. As with most free embroidery resources, availability may change over time.
