Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch design captures a bold red kangaroo mid-leap across an earthy savanna dotted with acacia trees and golden grassland. The composition balances vibrant coral-red stitching against warm olive and mustard tones, creating a dynamic scene that evokes the Australian outback. At 101 x 101 stitches, this intermediate-level pattern requires eight DMC thread colors and offers rewarding visual impact as the kangaroo's muscular form emerges through careful color blocking.
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.
