A long, narrow panel for the night of 31 October, with the Halloween cast in friendly mood: nothing frightening, just purple, orange and grey on a pale ground. The large-square chart and the short colour list make it a quick project, well suited to anyone with little stitching experience or in a hurry to finish before the party.
It is worked in cross stitch over the Aida blocks, with a little back stitch to outline the lettering and the details. The frame is not included: the elongated format suits a small picture for the shelf, but it also works as a table runner or as the front of a trick-or-treat bag. A hoop or frame is useful while stitching.
