Pattern description
This classic panda portrait combines stark black and soft white with a subtle gray accent, creating a striking minimalist aesthetic.

The bold color contrast and straightforward geometric composition translate beautifully to counted cross stitch, requiring only three DMC thread colors to achieve a gallery-quality result.
