Gargoyle on a Plinth
This striking design brings to life a crouching gargoyle poised on a stone plinth, its broad wings unfurled and its fierce expression rendered in beautifully shaded tones of grey. Inspired by the carved sentinels found on medieval cathedrals and Gothic architecture, it captures a wonderfully dramatic mood that any fan of dark fantasy or historical stonework will appreciate.
Whether you are drawn to mythology, Gothic aesthetics, or simply love a design with real character, this pattern makes a bold and memorable piece to frame and display. It also makes a genuinely thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates the darker, more atmospheric side of decorative art.

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.
