Grey Seals
This sweet design captures three grey seals side by side, their soft rounded forms and gentle expressions rendered in a delicate palette of cool greys and whites. It is the sort of pattern that feels quietly joyful to stitch, with a pleasing simplicity that makes the finished piece genuinely lovely to display.
Whether you are a seasoned stitcher or building your confidence, this design is a wonderful choice. Framed and hung on a wall, it makes a charming nod to British coastal wildlife, and it would make a thoughtful, personal gift for anyone who loves the sea.

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.
