Three carved pumpkins have crammed into a woven basket, grinning in the dusk — this Halloween cross stitch pattern catches that lantern glow before the light goes out. A pointed witch's hat leans against the rim, and a fourth jack-o'-lantern has already slipped out to sit beside the basket.
Worked on dark fabric, the glow does half the job for you. It's a quick piece of autumn stitching that reads like a folk tale told at dusk — steady rows of full cross stitch and a little outline where the grins need a sharp edge.
