Pattern description
With warm golden-brown tones and charming personality, this 100x100 stitch pattern captures an adorable retriever sporting blue-framed spectacles and an endearingly friendly expression. The clever composition places the dog's intelligent gaze front-and-center, making it instantly recognizable as the scholarly "Professor" character. At advanced skill level with 36 DMC thread colors, this counted cross-stitch design demands precision and patience from experienced stitchers.
Perfect for dog lovers and intellectuals alike, this needlework project translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric, offering a substantial 100x100-stitch canvas that's both manageable and satisfying to complete. The warm palette of golden yellows and tans contrasts nicely with the pink tongue and dark nose details, creating visual interest throughout. Whether you're stitching a gift for a fellow pet enthusiast, decorating your craft room, or adding personality to a home office, this witty design works equally well framed as wall art or sewn into a decorative pillow cover.
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.
