Directions:
Using the pencil draw the outline of the pumpkin on plastic canvas. Also, draw two side pieces 10 x 10 bars, and one back and one bottom each 10 x 18 bars. Each line on the chart represents a bar on the canvas.
Cut out shapes, cutting in the space between bars and not on the bar. After cutting, trim off all the remaining plastic nubs.
Following the chart, stitch the front piece in Continental Stitch. Fill in the uncharted areas in black. Stitch the sides, back, and bottom pieces in black Continental Stitch.
Using 6 strands of black floss, French knot the witch’s eyes and mouth in black.
Whip Stitch the pieces together with black yarn.
Overcast the witch’s hair in orange, the hat band in purple, and the remainder of the candy cup in black.

I like these little needlepoint projects because they work up quick and use up my yarn scraps. Since I only get three or four kids for Halloween, I can make one of these little cups for each kid and fill it with candy.
The witch is as cute as the ghost & pumpkin. These together would make a cute centerpiece.
How cute. I can adapt it for a quilt pattern and maybe make placemats.
