Pattern description
This 110 x 110 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures an endearing panda face with soft, contemplative expression. The composition uses cool muted grays, creams, and blacks to create a gentle, understated aesthetic that feels modern and serene rather than cartoonish.
Stitched on 14-count Aida fabric, this intermediate-level design employs 15 DMC thread colors to achieve subtle shading and dimension in the panda's facial features and fur texture. The moderate stitch count makes it an accessible project for needleworkers with some experience, offering enough complexity to engage without overwhelming. Perfect as a framed woodland accent piece, nursery art, or thoughtful gift for wildlife enthusiasts, this pattern works beautifully in natural light where its cool palette truly shines. The free PDF chart is easy to follow, making it ideal for both solitary stitching sessions and group needlework circles.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
