Pattern description
This 146 x 146 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures two endearing dachshunds rendered in rich, warm earth tones against a soft sandy backdrop. The color palette of 28 DMC threads creates subtle depth and personality in each dog's gentle expression, with brown and tan hues dominating the composition.
