Halloween is on its way, and what better way to mark it than with some needlecraft, here’s a few of the free embroidery patterns that I’ve found online that celebrate the night of ghouls and ghosties! Click on the pictures to get to the patterns!
Quixotic Pixels has some beautiful (and very cute!) embroidery patterns to decorate trick or treat bags or Halloween decorations. I’m hoping to find the time to make a wall hanging featuring these before the month is through!
The Pattern Bee has a large collection of vintage patterns for fans of crewel embroidery, including this particularly creepy floating pumpkin scene.
About.com offers various cross stitch patterns, one of which is this superb monster pattern featuring Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, a mummy and a werewolf. They also have pumpkins and black cats for you to stitch up here.

Stab and Stash has a great counted cross-stitch pattern of a spell gone wrong!
And finally, I stumbled on this absolutely beautiful sampler pattern with a Halloween theme from this site, although if you do wish to save it for later use, I recommend saving the pattern to your computer or printing it out as opposed to bookmarking it as the site will be closed down fairly soon by AOL.
What are your crafty plans for Halloween? Decorations? Costumes? We don’t make a big deal out of Halloween in our house, but I can’t resist the excuse to make up some cute spooky themed crafts at this time of the year!
If you’ve created a Halloween tutorial or have something that you’d love to show off to the CraftBlog readers get in touch with me and let me know!
