Happy Father's Day

Everyday Life & ScenesBeginner9 colours17 hours of stitching

This delightful design captures a warm, everyday moment between father and son, casually dressed and caught mid-conversation on a street corner. One wears a bright red jacket while the other sports a blue hoodie and backpack, giving the whole scene a relaxed, youthful energy that feels instantly familiar and full of heart.

Whether you are stitching this as a Father's Day gift or simply love scenes of friendship and everyday life, this pattern is a lovely addition to any collection. It works beautifully framed and displayed at home as a cheerful reminder of the bonds that matter most.

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, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
