About this pattern

A Siamese cat lying down with its head up, looking straight at you. The head has two brown ears, a brown mask over the middle of the face, two blue eyes with dark pupils and a small dark nose. The long creamy white body stretches out to the right behind it, with a level back and a rounded haunch. One front leg reaches forward along the ground to the left and ends in a brown paw with two toe lines, and the brown tail lies along the ground under the haunch and turns up behind it. The head mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

57 stitches wide by 26 high: 969 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 1 more).
