About the Halloween Whiskers cross stitch pattern

A black cat sits inside an orange pumpkin next to vertical text in this Halloween design. The multicoloured letters spell the holiday name.

The design

On the left, the word Halloween reads downwards in orange, green, purple, and black block letters. A black cat with pink ears and yellow eyes sits inside a carved pumpkin. The animal features a curled tail and white backstitch whiskers. A grey shadow grounds the motifs. The piece is shown framed on cream Aida.

Stitching it

This beginner pattern uses full cross stitches and backstitch. The chart requires 16 DMC colours. The finished dimensions fit a 5-inch hoop.

Finishing it

The completed project works displayed as seasonal wall art, a small decorative throw pillow, or mounted in a painted embroidery hoop. It makes a suitable gift for cat lovers and pet parents on Halloween night.
