Alligator
This alligator cross stitch pattern captures the prehistoric charm of one of nature's most impressive reptiles, rendered in a bold palette of greens with striking detail across its ridged back and wide, toothy grin. It has a real personality that draws the eye and makes for a genuinely rewarding stitch.
Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast or simply love stitching creatures with character, this design works beautifully as a framed piece for the home or as an unusual and thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates the wilder side of nature.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
