Leaning Tower Of Pisa

World LandmarksBeginner8 colours22 hours of stitching

Few buildings in the world are as instantly recognisable as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and this cross stitch pattern captures its famous tilt and elegant white marble tiers beautifully. The design renders the tower's arched galleries and crowning belfry with satisfying clarity, set against a clean sky and a neat strip of grass at its base.

Whether you are a seasoned stitcher building a collection of world landmarks or someone looking for a meaningful gift for a travel lover, this pattern is a wonderfully rewarding project to settle into.

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.
