CrossStitcher magazine issue 440 October 2026

Welcome to the October issue of CrossStitcher! As we head into autumn, our cover star is a beautiful owl scene – enjoy working on navy aida to create the nighttime effect. PLUS! There are two exclusive kits for you, too – with everything you need to stitch up a Halloween needle roll, plus part one of our new Regency Street SAL. You ALSO get a pack of assorted sequins, with ideas and techniques for using them inside the issue!

Inside, you’ll find a whole host of must-stitch projects. Stitch up a dazzling collection of sequinned fish designs, or celebrate with our four cards with a fabulous cocktail theme. Make a stylish poster with our golf design, and celebrate classic romance with our Pride & Prejudice pincushions featuring Lizzie Bennet and Mr Darcy.

Plus our Haunted Houses alphabet is perfect for personalised gifts for spooky season, while our Weird Wonders Halloween tray and Feeling Golden autumnal spot sampler are perfect for when you simply want to enjoy a seasonal stitch.
