Bring spooky glow to your Halloween stitching with this melting candle design, topped with a bright flame and worked with a carved jack-o'-lantern face. The cream wax, pale yellow highlights, orange and red flame, and black facial details give it a playful haunted look rather than anything too grim. It suits anyone decorating for Halloween who wants a cartoon-style motif with a bit more character than a standard pumpkin.
This design would sit especially well on black sweatshirts, orange tote bags, seasonal tea towels or the front of a trick-or-treat pouch, where the drips and wax droplets can really stand out. Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design using 6 thread colours, it has a solid, filled-in look that works best on stable fabrics and gives the candle body a rich, weighty finish. Use it as a single statement motif or as part of a larger Halloween set with bats, ghosts and pumpkins.
