About this pattern

A dark brown paw print with a bandage stuck across its main pad. Four toe pads sit in an arc above one larger pad. The bandage is a tan strip with rounded ends that reach past the pad on both sides, a pale square of gauze in the middle and four small air holes at each end. The left and right halves mirror exactly. A small motif for a card, a gift tag or a pocket. Full crosses only. It is 30 by 25 stitches and uses three thread colors.

30 stitches wide by 25 high: 406 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pale Golden Brown 3827, Light Tawny 951).
