Pattern description
This charming panda sits holding green bamboo, rendered in crisp black and white with delicate gray accents on a gentle background. The 80 x 80 stitch count creates a perfectly square composition that's ideal for framing or decorating a nursery. The design balances bold black outlines with softer gray shading, giving the cute subject dimension and warmth.
At intermediate skill level, this pattern uses just five DMC thread colors, making it an accessible counted cross stitch project that still delivers visual interest. The monochromatic palette with touches of green creates a cool, calming mood perfect for children's spaces or gift-giving. Stitched on standard Aida fabric, this needlework project works beautifully as wall art, a framed keepsake, or embellishment for pillows and other home décor. The friendly panda motif appeals to all ages and suits both modern and traditional interiors with its timeless appeal.
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.
