About this pattern

A cute orange tiger standing side on and facing left, with its big face turned to look at you and its tail held up behind. The round head has two small round ears with white inside, dark stripes on the crown and cheeks, two dark eyes with a white glint in each, a pink nose and a white muzzle with a small mouth. Four dark stripes run down from the back, the near legs are barred and the tail has two dark rings. A band of white runs along the belly, and the two legs on the far side are a darker orange. A dark brown outline runs round everything. Full crosses only.

64 stitches wide by 38 high: 1,345 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
