Skull Cross Stitch Patterns

About these skulls patterns

A skull is a gift to a counted chart: symmetrical, bold, and read in blocks of bone and shadow rather than soft gradients. Count one half and the other half is already counted.

These run from the ornate to the plain — a sugar skull wound with marigolds, a skull crowned in roses, a clean anatomical study, a crystal skull catching light. Worked on black, where the ivories and the flower colours carry.

Whole cross stitch only: no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no french knots. A symbol prints in every square as well as the colour, and the floss key names real DMC shades with how many skeins each takes.

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.

Questions about skulls patterns

Are these skulls cross stitch patterns suitable for a beginner?

Yes. Every chart in this collection is whole cross stitch only — no backstitch, no quarter or three-quarter stitches and no french knots. If you can sew one X over one square of aida you can finish any of them. Every chart is 130 stitches square, finishing at about 9¼ inches on 14-count aida; what varies between them is the number of floss colours.

What is included in the skulls pattern download?

A PDF the moment you pay: the colour chart, the same chart again in black and white symbols so it prints legibly on any printer, a floss key naming real DMC shade numbers with how many skeins to buy, and the finished size worked out for 14, 16 and 18-count aida.

Do you post anything, or is it digital only?

Digital only. No fabric, floss or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The download link does not expire, so the file stays available whenever you want it again.

Can I stitch these skulls patterns to sell?

Yes. You can sell the finished pieces you stitch yourself. What you cannot do is resell, share or redistribute the PDF or the chart itself.
