Halloween Characters

Halloween & HorrorBeginner9 coloursAbout 4 days of stitching (~8 hrs/day)

Halloween Characters brings together three little trick-or-treaters in witchy costumes, posed around a big grinning carved pumpkin. Pointed hats, flapping bats and a warm orange glow give the scene a playful, friendly feel that is spooky without being scary.

It is a charming choice for anyone who loves seasonal stitching, whether you are decorating for autumn or planning a handmade gift for a family that adores Halloween. Framed and hung on a wall, it makes a cheerful display that you can bring out year after year. Settle in with a cuppa and enjoy bringing these characters to life.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.

These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.

HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
