Pattern description
This 96x96 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures an orange tabby's sweet, wide-eyed expression in soft peachy and cream tones. The artist-friendly 26-color DMC palette creates natural shading across the cat's face, with particular attention to the striking green eyes that draw immediate focus. The warm, gentle color scheme makes this intermediate-level needlework project feel inviting rather than challenging.
Perfect for cat lovers and embroidery enthusiasts alike, this pattern stitches beautifully on standard Aida fabric and works wonderfully as a finished framed piece or pillow cover. The square composition and friendly feline expression make it an ideal gift for pet owners, while the moderate stitch count keeps completion time reasonable—typically 8-12 hours for experienced stitchers. Whether you're decorating a cozy home space or creating a heartfelt handmade gift, this warm-toned kitty portrait brings both comfort and character to any room.
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.
