Did you know?

Scottish Terriers, affectionately called Scotties, are a hardy terrier breed originally developed in the Scottish Highlands for hunting small game and vermin. Known for their bold, independent temperament and distinctive silhouette—compact body, short legs, and confident gait—they've become iconic symbols of Scottish heritage and a favorite subject in needlework designs for centuries.

Pattern description

This earthy, muted cross-stitch captures a Scottish Terrier in profile, rendered in cool grays, browns, and subdued greens across 131×131 stitches. The counted-stitch pattern uses 27 DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension in the dog's sturdy, compact frame and distinctive wiry coat texture. Intermediate stitchers will appreciate the moderate challenge of blending these naturalistic tones to achieve the soft shading that brings the Scotty's alert expression and characteristic silhouette to life on Aida fabric.
