Few landmarks capture the spirit of European history quite like the Brandenburg Gate. This pattern brings the grand neoclassical monument to life in thread, faithfully depicting its row of stately columns, the distinctive green-roofed attic, and the famous Quadriga sculpture crowning the top.

Whether you have a love of German history, a passion for architectural detail, or simply enjoy a rewarding stitch with a striking result, this design makes a wonderful addition to any framed display or a truly thoughtful 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, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
