Pattern description
This elegant greyhound silhouette in soft, muted pastels captures the grace and sleek proportions of the breed in a timeless needlework design. The 104 x 104 stitch count and 12 DMC thread colors create subtle depth and dimension, with cool blues and creams blending across the dog's muscular form against a warm taupe background. The intermediate skill level makes this pattern accessible to experienced stitchers seeking a more refined project without excessive complexity.
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.
