Pattern description
This 103 x 103 stitch pattern captures a sweet brown-and-white Australian Shepherd puppy with characteristic alert ears and gentle expression. The soft, warm palette of 29 DMC thread colors creates a lifelike portrait that blends beautifully on intermediate-level needlework. The composition centers the pup's engaging face against a neutral background, making it an ideal counted cross stitch project for those comfortable with moderate color complexity and detail work. The gentle coloring and compact square format make this Australian Shepherd pattern perfect for framing as a dog-lover's keepsake or gifting to Aussie Shepherd enthusiasts. Worked on 14-count Aida fabric using the included DMC chart, the finished piece measures approximately 7.5 by 7.5 inches—a manageable size for a standalone wall accent or addition to a pet portrait collection.
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.
