Did you know?
Buffalo—also called American bison—are the largest land mammals in North America, once roaming the Great Plains in herds numbering in the millions before near-extinction in the 19th century. Despite their massive size and weight of up to 2,000 pounds, they're remarkably agile and can run at speeds over 30 miles per hour. The curved horns and thick, shaggy coat shown here are their defining features, evolved to survive harsh winters. Today, bison represent both wild resilience and conservation success, as careful breeding programs have restored populations from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a sturdy buffalo in rich, warm browns and tans against a soft background, rendered in a classical side-profile composition. Worked over 135 × 135 stitches using 13 DMC thread colors, the design sits at intermediate skill level—manageable for stitchers comfortable with shading gradients and subtle color transitions. The earthy palette creates a naturally muted, rustic mood ideal for framing or displaying alongside farmhouse or wildlife décor. Perfect for those seeking a substantial wildlife project with gentle, naturalistic detail rather than bold graphic contrast.
