There is something wonderfully comforting about a pair of well-loved armchairs, and this Armchairs cross stitch pattern captures that familiar warmth beautifully. Rendered in rich autumnal tones, the design has a pleasing retro character that feels both nostalgic and entirely at home in a modern interior.

This pattern is a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys stitching everyday domestic scenes. It works beautifully as a framed piece for a sitting room or study, and its charming vintage feel makes it a thoughtful handmade gift for a friend or family member.

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, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
