Muddy Wellington Boots

There is something wonderfully familiar about a sturdy pair of wellies propped up after a long walk, and this design captures that homely feeling beautifully. Rendered in rich greens and warm browns, the boots have a satisfying solidity that makes them a joy to work up stitch by stitch.

This pattern suits anyone who loves vintage-style domestic subjects or simply appreciates the charm of everyday objects given a little extra care. It would look lovely framed in a hallway or presented as a gift to someone who is never happier than when they are outdoors.

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.
