As soon as the first leaves fall from the trees you can be sure to find pumpkin decor around every corner. Few things capture the season’s essence as perfectly as pumpkins! I’m partial to a pumpkin or two and find any chance I can get to cross stitch something fun for in my home. That’s how my newest cross stitch pumpkin pattern came to be. Whether you’re decorating your home or looking for a relaxing way to embrace fall, cross stitching pumpkins is the ideal craft to get into the seasonal spirit. Are you ready to bring cozy autumn vibes inside? Then let’s dive into the wonderful world of pumpkin cross stitching!

Picking the perfect pumpkin cross stitching palette

Allthough thick, round orange pumpkins are the ones we see most of, pumpkins actually come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. That means that it’s time to break out the threads that go with a rich and vibrant autumn palette. From deep oranges and golden yellows to earthy greens and warm browns, the colors evoke all the warmth and charm of the season. My new pumpkin cross stitch pattern uses all kinds of autumn colours. In the pattern you’ll find an exact list of which shades of these autumn colours I’ve used so you can find the right colours in your stash. This makes the pattern perfect for beginners and pro’s alike! If you’ve already create quite a few cross stitch projects then you can definetly experiment with other coloured theads. Just go with whatever you fancy and have fun!

Perfect for beginners and experienced stitchers alike

And it’s not just the handy colour chart that I’ve included with the newest pumpkin cross stitch pattern that makes this project beginner friendly. If you’re new to cross stitching, making pumpkins is a great way to get to know your new favourite hobby. Their simple shapes and repetitive patterns make them beginner-friendly, while their variety allows experienced stitchers to get creative with more intricate designs. Even if you’ve never threaded a needle before, you’ll find that cross stitching pumpkins is an easy and satisfying way to get into the craft.

Creative ways to display your cross stitched pumpkins

Once you’ve finished stitching your pumpkin, it’s time to show your cross stitch project off! If it’s your first time doing a cross stitch project then you could go for the classic option of displaying your cross stitched pumpkin in an embroidery hoop. This gives rustic, handmade vibes. You could hang it on a wall, prop it up on a mantel, or include it as part of a larger autumn display. Cross stitched projects also make lovely gifts! Sew your cross stitched creation onto a pillow, hoodie or backpack to create a personalized, homemade gift. It could even be a perfect Christmas present for your pumpkin loving family member or friend. Fall is the perfect time of year to start working on handmade gifts!
