Pattern description
Kitten captures the charm of an adorable feline with bright green eyes and rosy pink ears gazing directly at the viewer. This counted cross-stitch pattern features a sweet cat face rendered in soft, naturalistic tones that make it a delightful project for needleworkers of all experience levels. With a stitch count of 65 × 98 stitches, the design balances intricate detail with manageable scope, taking anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months depending on your stitching pace. The nine DMC thread colors work together harmoniously—from warm grays and taupes creating the cat's fuzzy coat to crisp whites highlighting the face and whiskers, with pops of pink for the nose and ears that bring personality to the finished piece.
This intermediate-level pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and comes as a free printable PDF chart complete with a full DMC color key for easy reference. Whether you're expanding your cat-themed needlework collection or seeking a portrait-style project with personality, this kitten design offers satisfying stitching with lovely results. The approachable stitch count makes it perfect for framing as a standalone piece or incorporating into a larger embroidery project.
