About this pattern

The face of a black and white tuxedo cat looking straight at you, head only. Two pointed black ears lean outward, each with a pink lining; two round green eyes with square dark pupils sit either side of a white blaze that starts one stitch wide between them and widens into a white muzzle and chin, with a pink nose and a small mouth on the centre line. The rest of the head is black and the black is its own outline. The face is exactly the same left and right. Full crosses only. It is 29 by 24 stitches and uses four thread colors.

29 stitches wide by 24 high: 542 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Black 310, Winter White 3865, Light Parrot Green 907 and 1 more).
