This trout cross stitch pattern captures the elegant form of a freshwater trout in warm, earthy tones, with a subtly speckled body and a beautifully curved silhouette that gives the finished piece a real sense of life and movement.

It is a lovely choice for anyone who appreciates nature, wildlife, or the peaceful world of rivers and streams. Framed and hung on the wall, it makes a thoughtful and personal gift for anglers, naturalists, and fellow stitchers alike.

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.
