Sea Urchins III

Decorative, detailed and fun to stitch

Once the protective shell of sea urchins, the circular tests they leave behind really lend themselves to embroidery. Their fivefold symmetry is super pleasing to our pattern-loving eyes. And the tiny holes and bumps where these small sea creature’s tube feet emerged and defensive spines attached translate beautifully into a variety of fantastic stitches.

While they look incredibly detailed, the urchins are actually quite easy to embroider. Even if you’re a beginner. The best part? There are two more sea urchin patterns in this range. Do all three to experience the full joy of embroidering these ocean designs.

Sea Urchins I, II and III are available bundled as Sea Urchins for a reduced rate.
