10 Free Halloween Crochet Graphghan Patterns

I’ll admit, I was a little late to the graphghan pattern train. I outright disliked them for awhile and didn’t see the appeal. But it just takes that one project to make you jump on the bandwagon and my Office Blanket made me a life-long believer in the power of graphghans. Now look at me!

Free Halloween graphghan patterns

I’m a bit of a nerd about them now, to be honest. And I’ve been seeing so many cute Halloween projects on Pinterest lately that I decided to scour the web to find you the best free Halloween graphghan patterns.

Parks and Rec Printable Art Downloads

Recently I was struck down by the Pawnee Goddess of inspiration and I created some downloadable, print art based on Parks and Rec. I know you’re thinking “Um, Jessica … isn’t this a crochet blog?” Well, yes. But … but ….

Friends, Waffles, Work Leslie Knope Printable Art

It all started when I shared my coddled anus cross stitch (say that 5 times fast ) on Facebook. Someone left a comment saying they NEEDED it in their life but as a print with cute font.  Enter a frenzied day of print design.

I made several Parks and Rec designs because HELLO, Parks and Rec is amazing. I got a little out of hand, to be honest. But once I started I just couldn’t stop. I was possessed by whatever she-demon fuels Leslie Knope’s unrealistic productivity. There are just so many good quotes out there.

Parks and Rec Downloadable Print Art on Etsy.

These downloadable prints are now available on Etsy. What’s  that mean? That means that you’re only getting a file.  After purchase you will receive one jpg file that you can print and frame yo self. Just tell me that one of these bad boys framed and all wrapped up wouldn’t make the perfect gift for a Parks and Rec fan.


Drop some more inspiration in the comments. What other iconic lines from Parks and Rec should I do?

This quote from Dwight is one of the funnier lines to come out of the later seasons of The Office. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a true Office fan til the grave but the last two seasons just do not have as many lolable moments.  Enter Dwight.

I’m doing a series of free cross stitch designs based on The Office. You can find my Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica pattern here.

You can  find the free graph for the cross stitch pattern below or you can purchase a printable PDF version in my shop. Paid pattern includes an enlarged, four part breakdown of the graph.

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica. Free Cross Stitch Pattern.

I swear, I do have interests beyond The Office. Really. But it’s one of my all time favorite TV shows and it’s so darn quotable that it inspiiiires me.  So I’ve decided to do a series of cross stitch patterns based on The Office.

Because as if doilies didn’t qualify me for old lady status – oh yeah – I do cross stitch, too.

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica Cross Stitch Pattern.

If you followed along with my Office Crochet-a-long blanket you’ll definitely recognize this pattern.  It was a large panel that was released for week 13 of the crochet along.  It’s been simplified a bit for the cross stitch version and fits adorably on a 4 inch embroidery hoop.

It’s the perfect, minimalist piece of art for the true Office fan. Can’t you just imagine this in a cubicle? Too perfect. And Christmas is just around the corner, y’all. Get to stitching!

Not a cross stitcher? For a limited time I am also selling the finished product on Etsy. You can find the listing here: Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica Cross Stitch.
