Featuring Dolly the cloned sheep with a tartan twist and a DNA-framed legacy.
This cheeky full coverage pattern celebrates Dolly, the world's first cloned sheep, with a stitched tribute that's equal parts science, sass, and Scottish pride. Dolly stands front and center in monochrome fluff, backed by a stylized tartan pattern inspired by the Edinburgh University tartan, where she was famously cloned. Surrounding it all is a DNA strand border, looping in a circle like a stitched double helix of destiny.
Stitching the Tartan
The included tartan technique sheet teaches you how to stitch color-combined tartan blocks using layered floss blends. Once mastered, you can apply this method to stitch any clan tartan, commercial plaid, or even invent your own. It's a modular approach to plaid that opens up endless possibilities for backgrounds, borders, and stitched kilts.
