Pattern description
This 82 x 82 stitch counted cross stitch pattern brings holiday warmth through a charming composition of a cheerful cat sitting beneath a densely decorated Christmas tree. The jewel-toned palette—vibrant magentas, emerald greens, golden yellows, and rich crimsons—creates a festive, eye-catching design that feels both traditional and playful. With 29 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will enjoy the varied color work and dimensional detail, from the ornaments and garland adorning the tree to the colorful gift boxes arranged at its base. Perfect for framing as a holiday card or gift, this pattern captures the cozy spirit of the season through 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.
