Cat, Pet and Farm Animal Embroidery Patterns
Cat embroidery is one of the most popular pet subjects, and cats are the largest group here: kittens, Siamese and other cat portraits and cats asleep among flowers, plus a pet budgie. For farm lovers there are sheep, alpacas, cattle and other farm animals.
Making a pet look like yours
Fur is stitched in long and short stitch, so a pattern is easy to recolour: swap the DMC shades in the PDF for colours that match your own cat. Keep the light and dark shades in the same places as in the pattern, and the shading still works. Whiskers are single straight stitches in one strand, added last.
Ideas
A pet portrait in a hoop is a personal gift for a pet owner or a keepsake of a pet that has passed. Our gift embroidery ideas has more on choosing and finishing. Every paid PDF includes vector line art in several hoop sizes, DMC colour codes, a materials list and a separate Stitch Guide PDF.
