Four Ladybirds
There is something wonderfully cheerful about a ladybird, and this pattern brings together four of them in a neat, charming arrangement that feels both quintessentially British and full of natural charm. Each little creature is rendered with bold spots and warm russet tones, making the finished piece a pleasure to display.
This is a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys wildlife and garden-inspired needlework, and the repeated motif means it also works beautifully as a gift, whether framed for a child's room or a nature-loving friend's home.

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.
