This design captures the iconic silhouette of the World Cup trophy, rendered in warm golds and rich deep tones that give it a wonderfully lustrous, celebratory feel. Every stitch builds up that instantly recognisable form, from the sculpted figures at the base to the globe held aloft at the top.

Perfect for the football lover in your life, this pattern makes a brilliant gift for a supporter, a coach, or anyone who has lived and breathed a tournament. Framed and hung on the wall, it becomes a lasting tribute to the sport's greatest prize.

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.
