A large-format cat portrait, where the blend of browns and greys gives the fur its softness and the green eyes their intensity. Alongside counted cross stitch there is some long stitch, used for the longer hairs around the muzzle and the ruff: the stitching itself is straightforward, but the area to cover is generous and calls for patience.
The large-square chart and the pre-sorted threads make it easier to keep your place in the sections with many colour changes. You will also need a hoop or frame large enough for a piece of this size. The frame is not included: once finished, the piece is best mounted by a professional framer.
