About this pattern

A white tiger's face seen from the front. The head is broad, widest across the cheek ruff and narrowing to a short chin, with a round ear on each top corner, gray inside. Black stripes mark the white coat: a wedge down the middle of the forehead with an upright bar and a short slanted mark on each side of it, an arched bar over each eye, and three tapering bars coming in from the edge of each cheek. The eyes are pale blue with a black rim and a black pupil.

49 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,586 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Black 310, Pearl Gray 415 and 2 more).
