About this pattern

A baby panda peeks out of a wicker basket, facing forward. Its round white head has black ears, black eye patches with a white stitch in each eye and a small black nose, and a black paw hangs over the rim on each side of its chin. The basket is woven in old gold with short brown stakes, a gold rim over a brown band and a brown foot. The design mirrors left to right. Black outline. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 35 stitches and uses four thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 35 high: 877 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Black 310, Medium Old Gold 729, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
