Pattern description
Three gentle puppies nestled together in a woven basket create an irresistibly sweet composition in this 191 x 191 stitch counted cross stitch pattern. Cascading white wisteria blooms frame the scene on both sides, while soft peach and cream tones dominate the peaceful outdoor background. The warm, naturalistic color palette evokes a gentle, pastoral mood perfect for nurseries or cottage-style décor.
With 50 DMC thread colors and nearly 36,500 stitches, this project demands advanced needlework skills and offers experienced stitchers a rewarding challenge.

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.
