Pattern description
This 100 x 100 stitch cross-stitch pattern captures a sophisticated black and white cat seated upright, rendered in cool blue-gray and soft lavender accents.

The cool color palette and composed feline subject make it an ideal gift for cat lovers who appreciate understated elegance, while the compact stitch count keeps project timelines manageable. DMC thread availability and the classic tuxedo pattern ensure this needlework piece remains timeless in any room.
