Little Panther

A blue-eyed spotted cub peering out from the leaves, worked with soft shading across the fur and the foliage. The design relies on gradual changes of tone, so it helps to stitch area by area, following the large-square chart that stays readable even in the busiest parts.

Cross stitch is worked over two threads of the fabric, giving neat, well-defined stitches. The kit holds everything you need for the stitching itself; you will only need a hoop or frame and a small pair of scissors, plus a frame for the finishing, which is not included. As the photo shows, the finished piece looks its best framed with a dark mount.
