Cross stitch design of a cluster of dark blue-black ripe blackberries grouped on a short green stem against a white background.

Blackberries

There is something quietly wonderful about the sight of ripe blackberries gathered in a bunch, and this pattern captures that seasonal charm with real warmth. Deep blue-black berries cluster together on a short stem, rendered in rich, jewel-like tones that make the finished piece a pleasure to display.

This design suits anyone who loves the colours and textures of the autumn hedgerow. It makes a lovely addition to a nature-themed collection of framed stitchwork, and its compact, satisfying composition also makes it a thoughtful handmade gift.

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.
