A bookish cross stitch pattern for people who love cats and books: one very unbothered black cat, up to their ears in bubbles, reading in the bath. This is an instant-download PDF chart - a counted cross stitch pattern you stitch yourself, not a finished piece.
DIGITAL PATTERN ONLY. Nothing is shipped. No fabric, floss, hoop or frame is included - you download the files, print, and start stitching today.
🖼️ THE DESIGN A black cat sits in a white tub under a white towel turban, holding an open book, with a pink wall above, a small framed botanical print, bold yellow-and-green stripes, a big leafy houseplant and a potted plant on a shelf. Bright, flat, modern color blocking. It is three things at once, which is the point: a cat cross stitch pattern for cat people, a reading cross stitch pattern for the ones with a to-be-read pile, and a bathroom cross stitch that actually suits the room it hangs in. Equally at home over a reading nook.
🧵 PATTERN DETAILS the counted chart finishes at 107 × 141 stitches (6,254 total), about 7.64" × 10.07" on 14-count Aida (roughly 4.86" × 6.41" on 22-count for a smaller finish, plus size options for 16/18ct and 28ct evenweave). It uses just 9 DMC colors with 2 strands, keeping it approachable for confident beginners and a relaxing stitch for everyone.

Good to know
You are buying a PDF chart, not a finished piece and not a kit. No fabric, floss or hoop is included. Colors on a screen can look different from real DMC floss. The preview shows how the finished piece could look. Your result depends on fabric count and floss. Files are in English. You need a PDF reader to open the charts. Free ones work fine.
Returns
Because this is an instant download, all sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges once the files are available. If a file will not open, the download stops halfway, or you got the wrong item, message me and I will fix it.
Print it. Hoop it. Stitch it loud.
