Pattern description
This 150x150 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a sharp-eared chihuahua in rich ebony and cream tones against a vibrant lime-green background. The composition emphasizes the breed's distinctive large ears and delicate facial features, making it an engaging intermediate-level project. With 24 DMC thread colors to work with, stitchers will develop shading techniques while bringing this tiny companion to life on 14-count Aida fabric. The bold color contrast creates a modern, eye-catching finished piece that works beautifully as a personalized gift for chihuahua lovers or a striking accent in contemporary home décor.
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.
