Idiom, of course, is always tricky like, excuse the idiom, walking on thin ice but, I think that if you say "mantiene los dedos cruzados" most Latin Americans would understand the meaning.

Yes. And "cruzar los dedos". Hoping that everything will be okay. - 003492fc, Aug 30, 2013

People say "Haz changuitos" (Make little monkeys) . That is the only way I have heard of "crossing fingers" in Spanish. It is an idiom.

Mantener los dedos cruzados, as Kirk1 suggests is what I've always heard.
