Rocket Going To The Moon
This cheerful design captures a classic rocket soaring upward, its fiery plume billowing in warm reds and oranges as it climbs toward a golden moon against a clean white sky. The bold, graphic style makes every stitch satisfying to place, and the finished piece has a wonderful retro charm that sits beautifully in a frame.
Whether you are a space enthusiast, stitching a gift for a young adventurer, or simply looking for a rewarding project full of colour and character, this pattern is a lovely choice to pick up and enjoy.

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.
