Bring cute menace to a Halloween make with this Hello Kitty-style slasher parody, complete with fedora, striped sweater and blade glove. The white cat face, bow, whiskers and yellow nose keep it recognisably sweet, while the brown glove, claw blades and bandage-like wraps give it that camp horror edge. It suits stitchers making spooky-season pieces for older children, teens or anyone who likes kawaii characters with a darker wink.
This is the kind of design that stands out on black sweatshirts, denim jackets, tote bags and trick-or-treat sacks, where the red, green, brown and yellow details read clearly against darker fabric. With 8 thread colours and moderate density, it has enough detail to show the hat brim, oval eyes and tiny body without looking flat. Use it as a centrepiece on the front of a hoodie or as a bold panel on a backpack pocket for a Halloween look that is more playful than gruesome.
