A tender and captivating pattern that showcases the soulful gaze of a golden retriever. Based on the artwork of Lar Shackelford, this design features an expressive portrait full of warmth and affection that dog lovers will instantly recognize.
Counted cross stitch pattern. Stitch count: 231w x 207h. Stitched on 14ct. White Aida using DMC Floss. Chart will be in black and white symbols and is full stitches only. The background shown in the model is not stitched. That is a graphic image used for the cover model. Freel free to choose any color or count of fabric you would like for your project but we have 14ct. White Aida listed in our supplies listing.
Disappointed that that blue background wasn’t actually charted for stitching. Had to find Aida cloth that had a patterned background. Stitching is much slower than anticipated as pattern is small and has several single stitches so a lot of changing floss colors. Looking great tho. Can’t wait to finish.

Loving Dog
Lots of similar colors, but just remember, it is just one stitch at a time!
I plan to start in the center, count symbols carefully, check twice or thrice!
My son-in-law lost his dog this past year.

This is a beautiful picture and I hope that it will come out the way it looks on the pattern. I think this is a pattern more for an experienced stitcher.

Chit-Chat:
Stamped or count
Is this a counted cross stitch pattern or is it stamped in the colors needed?

Is this cross stitch for "experienced" stitchers?

Is the blue background all cross-stitched as well as the dog.
