Pattern description
Stitching a kitten offers the perfect opportunity to capture feline charm in counted cross stitch, bringing adorable personality to your needlework. Our Kitten pattern features a delightful 104 × 104 stitch count that creates a satisfying medium-sized project, neither too quick nor overly demanding. The design utilizes 24 DMC thread colors, allowing you to explore a rich palette of shades that bring dimension and life to every whisker and fur texture. The color variety makes this embroidery piece engaging without becoming overwhelming, giving you plenty of opportunities to blend different hues and create depth throughout the stitching process.
Rated at intermediate skill level, this pattern suits stitchers with basic cross stitch experience who are ready for a more complex color palette and larger canvas. You'll receive a free printable PDF chart that includes complete DMC color keys, making it simple to match your threads and follow along stitch by stitch. The pattern is designed for standard Aida fabric, the ideal base for counted cross stitch projects, and works beautifully in 14-count or 16-count options depending on your preferred finished size. Whether you're expanding your cat-themed embroidery collection or seeking your next meaningful needlework project, this kitten design delivers charm and craftsmanship.
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.
