Red Riding Hood Embroidery Pattern

Introducing the Little Red Riding Hood Embroidery Pattern

The latest pattern in our collection of Fairy Tale needlework designs is our Little Red Riding Hood embroidery pattern. This embroidery pattern collection features stylized, pixie style dolls set in our favorite fairy tale stories.

In the Little Red Riding Hood embroidery pattern, Little Red Riding Hood is enjoying her walk in the woods. She is happily picking flowers along the path to give to Granny, unaware that the Big Bad Wolf is closely following behind her. The Big Bad Wolf’s menacing grin creates a fun, playful, and not scary overall effect. Although those sharp teeth do suggest that trouble may be coming.
