About this pattern

A tiger's face seen from the front: a wide orange head with a round white-lined ear on each top corner, three dark stripes down the forehead and three in from each cheek, two square dark eyes with a white glint, a pink nose and a small dark mouth on a big white muzzle. A dark brown outline runs round the head and ears. Apart from the glint in each eye, the left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 32 stitches and uses four thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 32 high: 925 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
