Pattern description
A striking silhouette of a black cat emerges against a bold, sunny yellow background in this beginner-friendly counted cross stitch pattern. The high-contrast composition uses just three DMC thread colors, making it an ideal starter project for anyone picking up a needle for the first time.

The simplified palette keeps material costs low and stitching straightforward, allowing crafters to focus on mastering basic cross stitch techniques while creating a memorable piece. Cat lovers and modern embroidery enthusiasts alike will appreciate the contemporary aesthetic of this cheerful design.
