Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross stitch captures a cheetah's serene profile in warm, naturalistic tones. The 100x100 stitch count works at a manageable scale while preserving fine facial details—the textured fur, defined eye, and subtle jaw line emerge beautifully through carefully placed stitches. Nine DMC thread colors in golden browns, taupes, and deep shadows create depth and dimension, building a lifelike portrait that feels both contemporary and timeless. Perfect for animal lovers seeking a project that balances complexity with achievable results.
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.
