Black Cats on Broom Embroidery Pattern and Guide (PDF Files)

Black Cats on Broom Embroidery Pattern — Digital PDF Download

Create your own whimsical Halloween embroidery with this Black Cats on Broom hand embroidery pattern. This playful design features three mischievous black cats climbing, hanging, and stretching across a rustic broom made with real dried twigs.

Designed for beginner to intermediate stitchers, this project combines approachable embroidery techniques with opportunities to practice padding, satin stitching, layering, outlining, and working embroidery around three-dimensional natural materials.

Please note that this listing is for a digital PDF pattern only. No physical product, embroidery supplies, fabric, hoop, twigs, or finished embroidery will be shipped.

Your PDF pattern includes:

• Full-size, ready-to-print embroidery template

• DMC embroidery floss color guide

• Tapestry wool floss recommendation

• Detailed stitching guide organized by design area

• Step-by-step photos throughout the stitching guide

• Instructions for creating and attaching the natural twig broom

• Pattern transfer instructions using a light box

• Materials and supply information

• Clickable supply links

• Link to the free YouTube video tutorial

• Printing and pattern-use instructions

The stitching guide walks you through constructing the broom, padding and filling the cats, embroidering the tails and legs, layering the cats over the broom handle, and adding the final white facial and body details.

Video Tutorial: A free YouTube video tutorial is included to help you stitch along with the project. Please note: The beginning of the YouTube tutorial includes a no-pattern option for viewers who do not have the PDF pattern. If you purchased this pattern, there is no need to follow that section. Simply use the printable template included in your PDF and continue with the stitching portion of the video.

I recommend working through the project one section at a time and using the PDF stitching guide alongside the video. Pause and replay the demonstrations whenever needed so you can work comfortably at your own pace.

Because this design incorporates real dried twigs, the video can be especially helpful for seeing how the broom is assembled, attached to the fabric, and layered with the embroidered cats.
