How It's Made: The Spooky Silhouettes

How It's Made: The Spooky Silhouettes

Every pattern starts with a little spark — and this one began with pumpkin spice, spooky vibes, and the idea of making Halloween super stitchable. We wanted something quick, bold, and festive... something you could finish between candy breaks and cozy nights in. 🎃

And so, the Mini Halloween Cross Stitch Collection was born!

Small Size, Big Personality

Each design in this set is just 3x3 inches, making them perfect for fast finishes, gifting, or squeezing in some seasonal stitching even when life’s full. The stars of the set? A ghost, cat, owl, and crow — all in classic Halloween silhouettes with a little twist of cute and quirky.

They’re easy to follow, fun to stitch, and full of moody October charm.

The Color Vibe

We paired bold black silhouettes with vibrant ombré orange backgrounds to give each piece that glowy, golden-hour-halloween feel. The contrast makes the shapes pop, and that warm background? It’s inspired by vintage Halloween postcards, flickering candles, and cozy fall sunsets.

Plus, if you add glow-in-the-dark thread to the ghost… you’ll win Halloween. Just saying.

Why We Love Minis

We’re big fans of tiny-but-mighty stitching. Minis like these are easy to start (and finish!), travel well, and use up thread stash in the best way. They also look super cute framed, hung on the wall, or turned into party favors and trick-or-treat tags.

Whether you’re new to cross stitch or have a hoop in every room — this set was made to bring joy, texture, and a little Halloween magic to your stitchy season.
