About these gothic patterns

Dark humour stitched in cotton. A skeleton that slept nine hours and is still tired. A skull blooming with wildflowers. A crystal ball with a frankly discouraging outlook. Gothic cross stitch patterns for people whose taste runs black but whose sense of humour has not died with it.

Most are worked on dark fabric, which is the current look in the category and also the reason they come together quickly: the background is the aida itself, left unstitched, so there is far less to sew than a full-coverage design.

Instant PDF download, symbol chart, real DMC floss numbers with skein counts, finished sizes for every common count. Whole cross stitch throughout — no backstitch, nothing fractional.

What you get

  • A counted cross stitch chart with a symbol in every square, so it prints on a black and white printer.

  • Finished sizes worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.
  • Whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no french knots.
  • A PDF you download the moment you pay. Nothing is posted to you.
