2019 Halloween SAL: Sleepy Hollow Cross Stitch Pattern
This design features cute & spooky vampires, witches, ghosts, skeletons, bats, cats, and a fun Halloween rhyme on every section.
This design can be stitched together as one large Spooky Sampler, but if you prefer to try a different finish, each section of this design can also be stitched and finished into a Stackable Drum. There are 4 bonus circle designs (to use as the top of the drums) included with each of the 4 section releases, along with finishing instructions to make up the drums. See the sneak peek photo!
If you choose to stitch this design as a full sampler, download the free PDF border layout chart here.
There is a drum finish video tutorial and PDF download available here
This chart uses 9 DMC colors (1 skein unless otherwise stated): 712 (2 skeins), 3326, 742, 721, 471 (2 skeins), 470 (2 skeins), 3808, 550, and 310 (5 skeins)
You may also choose to use some specialty floss instead:
1. 0580 Orange Marmalade GAST (Gentle Arts Sampler Thread) instead of DMC721
2. 0980 Lagoon GAST instead of DMC3808
3. 0810 Purple Iris GAST instead of DMC550
4. Kreinik #8 Metallic Braid in “032” for some added sparkle on stars
