Spooky Eyeball Free Cross Stitch Pattern PDF

A single bloodshot eyeball with a violet iris, staring straight out of the fabric. Seven colors, one evening, and a finished piece at the end of it.

This one is free, and it uses the same chart layout, the same legend and the same file set as every paid pattern in the shop. If you have not stitched one of our charts before, start here and see how it reads before you spend anything.

Print at 100% or Actual Size rather than Fit to Page. Fold the fabric in half both ways to find the center and start there.

Stitch the pupil and iris first, then the white, then the veins last. The veins are the only fiddly part and they sit on top of everything else, so leaving them until the end keeps the shape clean.
