Watermelon
This cheerful design captures three juicy watermelon slices arranged together, their vivid red flesh and crisp green rinds making for a wonderfully bright and summery finished piece. The bold, clean shapes and satisfying colour contrasts give the completed stitch a real freshness that looks lovely when framed.
Whether you are an experienced stitcher looking for a fun quick project or someone newer to the craft wanting a rewarding pattern to practise with, this fruity design is a genuinely enjoyable make. It also makes a delightful handmade gift for anyone who loves a touch of summer colour in their 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, Dimensions, Gamma, Luca-S, PNK Kirov, Sullivans and Unitas. Pick your brand when you start the project.
