About this pattern

I think every cat person knows this view: the back of a fluffy head, ears up, tail dangling over the edge of the windowsill, completely absorbed in a little bird outside. I designed this calico watcher sitting between a trailing pothos and a tiny cactus, with soft clouds in the window behind her.

It's 70 x 80 stitches in 12 DMC colors, about 5 x 5.7 inches on 14 count, so it frames beautifully in a 7 inch hoop or a small frame. The window panes are the biggest areas of color, which makes them nice relaxing rows while you watch the scene come together. The bluebird and the plants are the fun little details at the end.

I'd stitch it on white or antique white Aida. It's a lovely gift for anyone with a window-watching cat at home, or for a plant lover's reading nook.

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

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.
