Pattern description
This friendly reptile features a bright lime-green body with a sunny yellow underside, creating a playful contrast that appeals to cross-stitchers of all ages.

The pattern's compact stitch count makes it manageable without being overly simple, ideal for building skills while completing a satisfying project.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
