Pattern description
A sweet feline portrait rendered in warm golds, crisp whites, and jewel-toned crimsons, this 32x32 counted cross stitch captures a friendly cat face with distinctive striped markings and rosy cheeks. The bold color blocking creates excellent visual impact on 14-count Aida fabric, while the compact stitch count makes it an ideal beginner project that delivers satisfying results quickly. The eight DMC thread colors work together to define the cat's features with sharp contrast—black outlines frame the warm tan coat, while the deep red striped collar adds a touch of playful personality to this charming needlework.
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.
