Thatched Cottage
There is something wonderfully timeless about a traditional English thatched cottage, and this pattern captures that cosy, settled charm beautifully. With its warm red door, neatly thatched roof, and cheerful planting along the front, it feels like a little piece of the countryside you can hold in your hands.
This design is a lovely choice for anyone who appreciates classic rural scenes, and the finished piece makes a thoughtful handmade gift or a charming addition to a gallery wall at home.

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.
