About this pattern

A red panda lies flopped along a bare brown branch and looks straight at you, its chin dropped over the front of the branch. The face is rust with white ears, a small white brow over each dark eye, white cheeks and muzzle, a rust stripe down from each eye and a dark nose. The humped rust body lies along the branch, two dark legs dangle over it, and at the right the long thick tail hangs straight down, ringed in rust and pale buff bands with a rust tip. Dark brown outline, flat colors. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 31 stitches and uses five thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 31 high: 942 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red Copper 919, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
