Stitching Tips:
Cat's ears are stitched with three-quarter stitches. Eyes and nose with French knots. Whiskers and mouth with back stitch. Stitch all cross stitches and three-quarter stitches first, then add back stitch and French knots. Use two-three strands of floss for cross stitches and one-two strands of floss for back stitch. For higher count fabric, use additional strands of floss as needed.
