Pattern description
This gentle counted cross-stitch pattern captures an adorable cream and pink kitten with an endearing upward gaze. The composition centers a sitting kitten rendered in soft, warm tones with delicate blush accents on the ears and face, creating a sweet, innocent expression that appeals to cat lovers and needlework enthusiasts alike.
