Gargoyle Sentinel
This atmospheric design captures a stone gargoyle crouched in a classic sentinel pose, wings spread and expression fierce, rendered in a brooding palette of greys and blacks that gives it a wonderfully sculptural quality. It feels as though it belongs on the ledge of a great cathedral.
Ideal for anyone drawn to gothic, medieval, and fantasy themes, this pattern suits confident stitchers who enjoy a design with real character. Framed and hung, it makes a striking conversation piece or a genuinely memorable gift for the right person.

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.
