Medieval defender

Medieval scribes loved putting knights in odd company, battling snails and riding hares in the margins. This little defender went one better and saddled a tuxedo cat, lance up and dead serious.

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

Medieval scribes loved putting knights in odd company, battling snails and riding hares in the margins. This little defender went one better and saddled a tuxedo cat, lance up and dead serious. It's all black and white, so the shapes do the work and the joke lands fast.

Once you've worked it from the cross-stitch PDF, hang it where it can ambush people, like a hallway. The high contrast reads from across the room, and anyone who lives with a cat will get it instantly.

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.
