Pattern description
A parade of stylized dogs marches across this 106 x 106 stitch ornament pattern in rich jewel tones. The design features alternating rows of sitting dogs and geometric borders in magenta, periwinkle, and lime green, creating a rhythmic, folk-art composition. Five DMC thread colors work together to build visual depth and movement across the piece.
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and delivers a small, satisfying finished ornament perfect for dog-loving stitchers. The repeating motif makes the needlework meditative once you establish the pattern rhythm, while the bold jewel-toned palette ensures your finished piece will stand out on a tree or wall. The compact stitch count makes it ideal for gift-giving or as part of a collection of coordinating pet-themed ornaments.
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.
