About this pattern

Nine small Halloween motifs set out three by three. Top row: a white ghost, a black bat and a piece of candy corn. Middle row: a black witch hat with an orange band and a yellow buckle, a grinning orange jack-o-lantern with a green stalk, and a black cat's face with yellow eyes. Bottom row: a yellow crescent moon, a black cauldron with green brew running over its rim, and a white skull. Each motif fits a 17 by 17 stitch square and can be stitched alone. Full crosses only. It is 58 by 57 stitches and uses five thread colors.

58 stitches wide by 57 high: 1,216 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Black 310, Winter White 3865, Pale Yellow 744 and 2 more).
