Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures an adorable kitten's direct gaze with gentle, muted tones that create a warm and inviting needlework project. The 167 x 167 stitch count provides substantial detail, showcasing the kitten's expressive green eyes and delicate facial features against a softly blended background in sage, cream, and warm brown hues.
