Nine chubby, wide-eyed hamsters are bundled together in one irresistibly cosy pile, each with its own distinct markings and expression. From golden and grey to patchy black and white, the little characters are full of warmth and personality, making this a genuinely joyful design to work through.

This pattern is a wonderful choice for anyone who keeps hamsters as pets or simply cannot resist a crowd of happy, round-cheeked animals. Framed on a wall or gifted to a fellow animal lover, the finished piece is bound to raise a smile wherever it is displayed.

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.
