This Garden Shed pattern captures the quiet charm of a well-loved outdoor retreat, complete with a timber door, a pitched roof, and cheerful potted plants and flowers clustered around the entrance. Warm earthy tones and touches of colour bring the scene to life with a lovely cottage-garden feel.

Perfect for anyone who treasures the beauty of rural life, this design would look wonderful framed in a hallway, kitchen, or garden room. It also makes a thoughtful and personal gift for a keen gardener or countryside lover.

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.
