Pattern description
This 43×43 stitch tiger portrait combines bold orange and golden tones with crisp black outlines and white highlights, creating a striking pixel-art aesthetic perfect for beginner needleworkers. The warm color palette and geometric composition make it an ideal first counted cross-stitch project, requiring just six DMC thread colors and minimal complexity. The design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, translating the tiger's distinctive facial features into a compact, displayable piece that captures character without overwhelming detail.
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.
