Pattern description
This delightful 27x27 stitch counted cross stitch features three black and orange cats arranged in descending rows, each rendered in progressively lighter shades against a crisp white background. The geometric border of bold black and vibrant orange squares frames the composition perfectly, creating a graphic, modern aesthetic that appeals to needleworkers and cat lovers alike. With just five DMC thread colors and a beginner-friendly stitch count, this bookmark pattern combines playful character design with striking color contrast that practically stitches itself.
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.
