Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a gray lemur perched on a brown branch with striking black-and-white striped tail and distinctive orange eyes. The composition balances the primate's characteristic features—large ears and alert expression—against green foliage, creating a naturalistic woodland scene in 173 x 173 stitches.
Advanced stitchers will appreciate the 22 DMC thread colors that blend warm grays, deep browns, cool whites, and vibrant accents to bring dimension to the lemur's fur and distinctive markings. With its moderate complexity and engaging subject matter, this pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida as a framed needlework project or as a meaningful gift for wildlife enthusiasts and animal lovers who appreciate detailed embroidery work.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
