Dandelions
Few garden sights are as joyfully familiar as dandelions standing tall in the sunshine, and this pattern captures that warmth beautifully. With their vivid yellow blooms, slender stems, and lush green leaves catching the light, these cheerful flowers make for a wonderfully satisfying stitch.
This design suits those who appreciate botanical subjects and the simple pleasures of nature. It would look lovely framed on a kitchen or hallway wall, and makes a thoughtful, personal gift for anyone who loves the outdoors.

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.
