Black Chihuahua on Bright Lime Green

Pattern description

A sleek black chihuahua stands alert against a vibrant lime-green background in this 150×150 counted cross-stitch design. The dog's compact frame is rendered with striking contrast—dark charcoal and navy body against cream and tan facial markings that capture the breed's characteristic pointed ears and delicate muzzle. This composition places the subject slightly left of center, allowing the bold green field to dominate and give the piece contemporary visual punch.

The 24 DMC thread palette balances deep, cool tones with warm neutrals and that electric background hue, creating a design suited to intermediate stitchers who are comfortable blending multiple colors across the full count. Working on 14-count Aida fabric, you'll complete approximately 22,500 stitches—a satisfying project length that allows for detail without overwhelming commitment.

Dog lovers and chihuahua enthusiasts will treasure this portrait as wall art in a modern interior, while the bright green background makes it equally at home in a contemporary eclectic space or a child's bedroom. The graphic style and pop-art sensibility of the lime-and-black color story elevate it beyond traditional pet portraiture into modern decorative needlework. A PDF chart is available for download, making it accessible for stitchers ready to bring this pint-sized companion to life in thread.
