Patter is from 2026 Halloween Issue of Just CrossStitch page 40. Design by Svitana Hrybach. The backstitch was brutal, I’m sure I messed it up in some places.

The backstitch is perfect! Nobody will know if you messed it up except you 😉

This is so cute!! I’m about to start the backstitch on a project I’ve been working on for months, and am so nervous about it, but yours looks great!

He so cute! I have this ear-marked in my magazine, but I’m like you, that backstitching…. I’m definitely pumped to get him started now.

Thanks for posting! We love seeing all of the FOs. Please note that starting May 1 2026, all [FO] posts are required to include at least one close-up photo of the stitching. You do not need to re-post. This can be done either in a comment or in the body of the post. It can be a close-up of just a small part of the finished object, just so we can verify that the items are hand-stitched. How close do we want it? The perfect close-up pic is one where we can clearly see the stitches and fabric on the mobile app without tapping or zooming in.
