Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a soft, endearing portrait of a fluffy kitten rendered in warm, muted earth tones. The composition places the kitten's sweet face prominently, with a distinctive green ball of yarn positioned beside it—a charming nod to classic feline play.
