This design captures the eerie charm of a classic horror vampire, rendered in a bold, graphic style that calls to mind the earliest days of monster cinema. With his pale face, dark cape, pointed ears, and gleaming clawed hand, this creature of the night has a delightfully theatrical quality that fans of Gothic and vintage horror will immediately recognise and love.

Whether you are a seasoned stitcher or building your confidence, this pattern makes a wonderfully atmospheric piece to frame for your wall or to gift to anyone with a taste for the darker side of classic fantasy.

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.
