Bluebells
Few sights say spring quite like a cluster of bluebells in full bloom, and this delightful pattern captures that familiar beauty in lovely detail. Slender green stems rise from a bed of narrow leaves, supporting graceful sprays of violet-blue bell-shaped flowers that nod gently together.
Whether you are an experienced stitcher or building your confidence with floral subjects, this design is a rewarding and satisfying project. Finished and framed, it makes a wonderful keepsake or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural world.

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