Pattern description
This 99 x 99 stitch counted cross stitch pattern features a charming black badger with bright coral-pink eye patches and a playful expression. The design uses 12 DMC thread colors to bring personality to the woodland creature, with warm brown nose details and crisp white paw accents against the darker fur.
