Pattern description
This beginner-friendly counted cross stitch pattern features a serene Egyptian cat seated in elegant profile view, rendered entirely in bold black stitches on white fabric. The 79 x 79 stitch count makes it an ideal starter project that works up quickly without overwhelming complexity. The single DMC color palette strips away distraction, letting the clean, pixelated silhouette shine with graphic simplicity.

Stitching this monochromatic design on 14-count Aida fabric creates a striking finished piece perfect for framing as minimalist home décor or gifting to cat enthusiasts and history lovers alike. The straightforward black-and-white composition adapts beautifully to any room aesthetic, from modern to eclectic, making it an endlessly versatile needlework project for crafters seeking meaningful designs with timeless appeal.
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.
