Did you know?
Koalas are iconic Australian marsupials, spending nearly their entire lives in eucalyptus trees. Despite their cuddly appearance, they're solitary and mostly nocturnal. A young koala stays with its mother for about a year, learning which eucalyptus leaves are safe to eat—a crucial skill, since eucalyptus is toxic to most animals but forms their exclusive diet.

Pattern description
A tender scene of maternal care, this 100 x 100 stitch pattern captures a koala mother cradling her young in warm, earthy tones. The soft peachy-brown palette and gentle shading create an intimate, almost photorealistic mood through careful use of 15 DMC thread colors that blend seamlessly across the counted fabric.
This intermediate-level needlework suits stitchers ready for subtle color transitions and nuanced shading. The 100 x 100 stitch count is substantial enough to showcase detail without overwhelming complexity, and the soft natural palette makes thread selection intuitive.
Perfect for wildlife lovers and nursery décor, this koala design works beautifully on 14-count Aida using standard DMC floss. Consider framing it as a baby shower gift, a tender addition to a child's room, or part of a larger animal cross-stitch collection. The warm, restful colors complement both modern and traditional home styles.
