Wicked witch
I've seen this item done in monochromatic colour scheme without the moon....I've found it was published in 1995 in better homes and gardens magazine.....however I can't find any more info...can anyone provide any?

Thanks so much for any help

No, sorry. It's the cutest pattern and I hope that you find the info you need. I've stitched on a dark fabric once and said "never again". Black is out of the question. My advice to young stitchers is to stitch on the smallest count and on the darkest colors! LOL

I have the pages from the original as published in BHG's Fall/Winter 1996 issue of Holiday Crafts. It was stitched on black 14ct Aida. It appears to be identical to your leaflet but does not have the moon or streaked clouds. I'll be glad to answer any questions based on the two pages that I kept.

Thank you so much, that helps...I will look for that magazine as I don't have the pattern...I have the current pattern with the moon and contacted the company but they said they no longer publish this version....if I try to recreate it by omitting the moon are u willing to share the colours they used on the original?

Thanks for your help

I'd be happy to, the chart is in color and lists DMC numbers with symbols and colors. You can contact me at sandyquarles@gmail.com and we can arrange something.

Looking for Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Crafts Fall / Winter 1996. Does anyone have one they would like to sell or know of where I could buy one?? A DEAR friend is looking for the monochromatic witch pattern.

Thanks!

Perhaps I'm not getting the point....WHY aren't you guys buying the pattern which is available on this website and making whatever changes you want to the pattern? I DON'T GET IT....why do you need the magazine? The world puzzles me so much! :)

Love the witch....added to wishlist....still mystified! :)

The reason this pattern doesn't work is that a large portion of the witch is created by the negative space of the moon behind her....if you take the moon away a lot of witch is missing...plus the colours are different....
As for finding the pattern....email me at 3wish.star@sympatico.ca

You can purchase that very chart at Everything CrossStich. Just search Witch charts.
