Everyday Life & ScenesBeginner9 colours11 hours of stitching

This lively design brings the spirit of skateboarding to life in thread and fabric. The figure is shown mid-ride, full of movement and attitude, wearing a red jacket and helmet as they cruise along on their board. It is the kind of piece that looks brilliant once framed and hung on a wall.

Perfect for anyone who loves urban culture or action-packed subjects, this pattern suits stitchers who enjoy working with bold, characterful figures. It also makes a wonderfully personal gift for a skating enthusiast in your life.

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.
