Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a friendly goat in soft, warm pastels. The design features a cream and pale yellow base with peachy-orange accents on the mane, ears, and facial details. A striking blue eye and delicate pink nose bring personality and charm to the composition, while black hooves ground the whimsical figure.
With 25 DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level project strikes an excellent balance between depth and manageability. The pattern is ideal for stitchers who've mastered basic techniques and want to explore color blending and shading without overwhelming complexity. Working on 14-count Aida fabric, you'll complete a finished piece approximately 7x7 inches—perfect for framing or displaying in a nursery, farmhouse kitchen, or children's bedroom.
The gentle palette and charming animal subject make this needlework design particularly suited as a handmade gift for new parents, farm enthusiasts, or anyone who loves whimsical farmyard aesthetics. The soft color mood creates a soothing, welcoming piece that complements modern and rustic décor alike, offering both visual interest and the meditative satisfaction of counted cross stitch craftsmanship.
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.
