Did you know?
Beagles are small scent hounds originally bred in medieval England to track rabbits and hares in packs. Prized for their incredible nose—containing roughly 220 million scent receptors—they were later favored by hunters and remain one of the most popular breeds today. Their compact size, gentle temperament, and distinctive baying howl have made them beloved family companions and iconic figures in popular culture.

Pattern description
This cross-stitch beagle stands in alert profile, capturing the breed's characteristic poise and proportion. The 127 × 127 stitch count creates a square composition that lets the dog's lean, sturdy frame take center stage, with the elevated tail and forward-focused head conveying the breed's eager, driven temperament.
Worked in 20 DMC colors across warm golds, rich chocolate browns, and crisp whites, the palette evokes the classic tricolor beagle. The deep navy-green saddle marking and tan head create strong visual contrast, while the cream chest and leg accents ground the figure against the muted linen-tone background. Intermediate stitchers will appreciate the color transitions and small detail work in the face and paws.
Ideal for dog lovers or hunting enthusiast needleworkers, this pattern translates well to framed wall art or a personal heirloom piece. The rustic, slightly earthy mood suits cabin or cottage décor, and the beagle's recognizable silhouette makes it a rewarding project that reads clearly from a distance once complete.
