Pattern description
Stitching a panda offers a delightful challenge with its striking contrast between bold black and pristine white areas. This 97 × 97 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures the adorable charm of these beloved animals, making it an engaging project for needlework enthusiasts. Working with just a single DMC thread color simplifies your material list while the moderately-sized stitch count ensures the piece completes in a satisfying timeframe without becoming overwhelming. The monochromatic approach creates a striking visual impact, allowing the panda's distinctive markings to shine through with elegant simplicity across your Aida fabric.

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.
