Pattern description
Capture the sweet face of a guinea pig in this beginner-friendly counted cross-stitch design. Worked in warm oranges, creamy whites, and soft peachy tones across just 25 x 25 stitches, this tiny portrait creates an instant focal point on small Aida fabric.

Perfect for framing as a standalone piece, adding to a patchwork sampler, or gifting to guinea pig enthusiasts who appreciate needle-art tributes to their beloved pets.
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.
