Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch design captures a relaxed feline in rich, earthy tones—browns, golds, and cream—against a softly mottled background. At 140 x 140 stitches with 17 DMC thread colors, the pattern sits at an intermediate skill level, offering enough complexity to keep experienced stitchers engaged without overwhelming beginners. The warm, natural color palette creates a homey, rustic mood that complements farmhouse or cottage décor beautifully.
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.
