About this pattern

A black cat sits on top of a carved, glowing pumpkin under a big yellow moon and a starry blue sky. It is a classic Halloween picture with a bit of mystery and a lot of charm. The cat is made of several very dark shades, so stitch in good light and keep your chart close. Work the pumpkin and the moon first, since their bright colors make easy landmarks, then add the cat and the sky. A great choice for a framed piece on a mantel or a bookshelf through autumn. The finished design is about 6.4 × 8.6 in (16 × 22 cm) on 14 count Aida. Black cats are a Halloween favorite, so this one also makes a great gift for cat owners. If you are new to dark designs, try stitching the black areas with a single strand less to reduce bulk.
