Cross stitch design of a crouching grey gargoyle with a snarling expression, hunched shoulders and clawed hands, rendered in stony grey and brown tones.

Crouching Stone Gargoyle

Fantasy & MythologyBeginner8 colours18 hours of stitching

This striking design captures a crouching gargoyle in rich, stony tones, its hunched posture and fierce expression giving it real presence. Drawn from the Gothic and medieval tradition of these watchful stone figures, it makes for a wonderfully dramatic piece to stitch and display.

Whether you are a fan of fantasy art, architectural history, or simply love a design with character and atmosphere, this pattern is a rewarding project. Framed on a wall, it becomes a conversation piece that any admirer of the darker, more romantic side of art will treasure.

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.
