Hey all, today I’ve got this lovely FREE cross stitch pattern for you. It is a black cat, in a meadow, having a good sniff on some pink flowers. If I were to name him I think I’d call him Sooty. Sooty is shown here on 14 count aida, and he is 72×72 Stitches. Finished design comes out at 13.1 x 13.1 cm (or 5.1 x 5.1 inches.) Colour palette is very simple for this one, with 6 dramatic shades, because well… he’s dramatic, even though he doesn’t look like it. If you’re new to cross stitch please follow my guide that you can find here –> Stitching Success: A Beginner’s Guide to Cross Stitch Mastery, to get started. Also remember that this cross stitch pattern is free for personal use, that means you can stitch it, but you can’t sell my pattern, or distribute it. Thank you! Happy stitching..
