Country Cottage
This delightful design captures the quiet charm of a traditional countryside cottage, complete with a warm red-brick facade, a tall chimney, and a generous surround of deep green pine trees. The rich autumnal tones give the scene a cosy, settled feeling that is wonderfully satisfying to bring to life with needle and thread.
Whether you are an experienced stitcher looking for a rewarding project or someone building confidence with smaller designs, this pattern makes a beautiful finished piece to frame and display at home or to give as a truly heartfelt gift.

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.
