A tabby cat watching the world from a gap in the fence, framed by red and golden autumn leaves: a realistic design with plenty of shaded colours, worked on an easy-to-count fabric. The large-square chart and the pre-sorted threads keep the work straightforward even if you have limited experience of counted cross stitch.
All you need to add are small scissors and, if you like to keep the fabric taut, a hoop or frame. The frame shown is not included: once finished, the embroidery can be framed or made up into a cushion or a decorative panel. The back stitch, worked last, outlines the cat's face and gives it definition.
