Pattern description
This charming kitten portrait captures a soft gray tabby with striking blue eyes gazing directly at the viewer. The 65 x 58 stitch count creates an approachable intermediate project, rendered across 14 DMC thread colors that blend warm grays, cool slate tones, and bright accent oranges on the nose and ears. The pixel-art style brings out the kitten's delicate features and expressive gaze.
The cool, muted palette—dominated by grays and creams with pops of orange and cyan—gives this design a gentle, contemporary feel perfect for cat lovers and needlework enthusiasts alike. Stitched on Aida fabric with standard DMC threads, the pattern offers a satisfying balance of shading and detail without overwhelming complexity. It works beautifully as a framed keepsake, a pillow cover, or a gift for anyone who adores feline companions.
