About this pattern

This little ginger tabby has climbed into a sage-green mug and is peeking over the rim with his paws hooked on the edge. There's a pink heart on the mug and two more floating by, because he's clearly very pleased with himself.

The pattern is 44 x 50 stitches in 8 DMC colors, about 3.1 x 3.6 inches on 14 count. That's small enough to finish over a couple of evenings, and it fits a 4 or 5 inch hoop nicely. The whiskers are four short backstitch lines; everything else is full crosses.

I'd stitch it on white Aida. It's a sweet gift for a coffee or tea lover, a cat-sitter thank-you, or a first project for a beginner who wants something cute without too many colors.

You'll get a color chart, a black and white chart, a large-print version and a Pattern Keeper compatible PDF, plus the floss key with DMC numbers and a how-to-start page.

Questions

How do I get my pattern?

Right after checkout you land on your order page with download links for every file, plus a "download all" zip. Links work for 7 days, and you can reopen your order page anytime to get fresh links.

Is this a physical kit?

No. This is a digital PDF download. No fabric, thread or hoop is included and nothing is shipped. The floss key lists every DMC color you need.

How do I print it?

Print at 100% scale (or "actual size") on US Letter or A4 paper. The black & white chart saves ink and is easy to read. You can also stitch straight from a tablet.

Does it work with Pattern Keeper?

Yes. A Pattern Keeper friendly PDF is included, so you can import it and mark stitches off as you go. Backstitch (if any) is listed separately, because Pattern Keeper only tracks full crosses.

What is the free bonus pack?

Every order comes with a little thank-you: my one-page beginner cheat sheet and 3 bonus mini patterns (a star ornament, a tiny tree and a little mushroom). They appear on your order page next to your patterns.

Is there a discount if I buy several patterns?

Yes. Buy any 3 or more individual patterns or sets and each one is 25% off, applied automatically in your cart. Bundles already have their own price. During a shop-wide sale you always get the single best discount (they don't stack).

What if something is wrong with my file?

If a file has a problem, we'll fix it or refund you. Just send Sara a message. See the refund policy for details.
