Free White Cat with Blue Flowers Cross Stitch Pattern (PDF)
Stitch an elegant white cat framed by blue flowers and golden leaves with this free PDF: a 100 x 133 grid, 19 colors and four printable chart pages.
A white cat with bright blue eyes sits among blue blossoms and golden leaves in this free cross stitch pattern. The portrait combines pale fur with bold floral shapes, making a decorative project for a cat lover. The supplied eight-page PDF includes a clean stitched preview, a project guide, four chart pages and a floss-and-symbol key. Find the download at the bottom of this article.
This preview comes directly from the downloadable chart. The PDF uses 19 colors; the promotional layouts show a 17-color version. Use the PDF's own chart and floss key together when stitching rather than buying thread from a promotional image.
Pattern details and finished size
| Detail | PDF specification |
|---|---|
| Chart size | 100 x 133 stitches |
| Total stitches | 13,300 full cross stitches, including the background |
| Palette | 19 colors with DMC numbers and symbols |
| Backstitch | None |
| Suggested fabric | 14-count Aida |
| Thread setting | 2 strands |
| Finished design | About 7.1 x 9.5 inches / 18.1 x 24.1 cm |
| Suggested fabric cut | About 13.1 x 15.5 inches / 33.4 x 39.4 cm |
The suggested fabric cut includes 3 inches / 7.6 cm of extra fabric on every side. This is a full-coverage rectangle: the light background is included in the chart and stitch count. Pale shades also shape the cat's face, chest and whiskers, so check the symbols carefully in those areas.
On 16-count Aida, the stitched design would measure about 6.25 x 8.31 inches before adding a border. For help choosing fabric, see our 14-, 16- and 18-count Aida guide.
From floral cat artwork to a stitch chart
The original artwork has flowing fur, fine whiskers and layered petals. In the stitched version, these details become individual squares, with blue flowers defining the left side and golden leaves bringing warmth to the pale portrait. Comparing the two images shows why both chart size and palette affect the result when converting artwork into stitches.
To create a separate design from your own cat photo or illustration, upload your picture to Crosspic. Crop around the face, adjust the chart size and color palette, and inspect the eyes, ears and whiskers in the stitched preview. A simple background can help the subject remain clear. Our photo preparation guide explains how to choose and crop an image before converting it.
How to use the four chart pages
The PDF starts with a cover, preview and project guide. Its four numbered chart sections are followed by the floss-and-symbol key.
| Chart section | Columns | Rows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1-59 | 1-81 |
| 2 | 57-100 | 1-81 |
| 3 | 1-59 | 79-133 |
| 4 | 57-100 | 79-133 |
Adjacent sections repeat three stitches: columns 57-59 and rows 79-81 overlap. Stitch each repeated area only once. Follow the printed row and column numbers as you move between sections, and use the page maps to locate the neighboring chart. Bold lines mark ten-stitch blocks, and center arrows identify the pattern midpoints.
Print one chart page first to check symbol readability. Keep the key nearby and mark completed stitches as you work, especially where several pale shades meet. See how to read a cross stitch chart and prepare a pattern for printing for practical help.
Planning your floss and stitching
Organize threads using all 19 entries in the PDF key, including the small one-stitch entry. The supplied palette includes Blanc, several blue shades and warm gold tones. Some listed threads are variegated; compare the printed DMC numbers with physical floss or a thread card before buying, since a screen swatch cannot show all the variation in a strand.
The PDF's floss estimates include 15% extra. Actual use depends on stitching habits and how thread is carried across the back. With 13,300 full crosses, this is a project for multiple sessions. Keep the top stitch direction consistent and compare each completed area with the preview as the floral border and cat's face take shape.
