Fish Towels

Give your bathroom a quick and easy update by adding a fun, playful look to plain towels. These quirky fish-patterned charts by Rico Design put an original twist on the classic, nautical-themed styling idea. Worked in soft muted shades of sage green, cornflower blue and dusty pink, the vintage-inspired colour palette gives a grown-up touch to these playful motifs, while the graphic patterns and shapes add a contemporary edge. Using whole cross stitches and backstitch only, these designs are simple enough for all stitchers to enjoy. We especially love that these towels are pre-made with an aida insert, making it easy to stitch your design straight on, giving instant satisfaction! If you'd rather update your own towels though, you could just stitch the motifs onto an aida band, and then hand-sew it on. Repeat the designs to decorate bath towels and hand towels, or stitch a single motif and patch onto a flannel for a matching set. Or, switch up the colours to suit your style - these little fishies sure are versatile! Stitching Time: From 4 hours, depending on your choice of pattern repeat Type of Stitches: Cross stitch, backstitch Ease of Stitching: Beginner Shopping List: - Stranded cotton as listed in the key - Size 24/26 tapestry needle - Range of towels and wash mitts, in various sizes and patterns, and in four colours - pink, blue, mint and grey, all available from Spinning Jenny
