Thread colors from this pattern. Screen colors may vary from the floss.

A medieval knight cross stitch pattern with a twist: an armored cat rides into the marsh on a giant toad, sword planted in the reeds. Instant PDF download.

This is medieval marginalia in floss, the flat, hieratic style of a manuscript margin, worked in ten earthy DMC shades: olive green for the toad, golden olive and old gold for the cat's helm and harness, drab brown for the cattails, and a very dark beaver grey for the mail and the blade.

Whimsical enough to make people grin, medieval enough to hang beside your dragons and knights. Full crosses only, no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no confusing symbols. If you can count squares, you can stitch this one.

• 🪢 CHOOSING YOUR FABRIC The background is left unstitched, so the fabric colour is part of the picture. Cream, natural and black Aida are all shown in the photos and all three work beautifully. The one colour to skip is a mid olive or moss green, the toad himself is stitched in DMC 733 and 732 Olive Green, and he will sink straight into it.

Personal use

This pattern is for personal use. You can stitch it for yourself and stitch it as a gift. Please do not resell, share, copy or redistribute the files, sell the chart as your own, or use it for mass production. The design and the chart stay the property of Stitch Jam Studio.

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.
