Raptor Dinosaur Cross Stitch Pattern

A cartoon raptor in bold blue with navy tiger stripes, a bright yellow belly, grey claws, and a toothy grin. Clean backstitch outlines give it a sharp graphic look. A small, fast-finishing cross stitch pattern in 7 DMC shades.

Cross stitch plus backstitch, with a few fractional stitches shaping the jaw and legs. The fractionals make this a small step up from a true first project, but it's still quick, fun, and a good way to learn those techniques on a small, forgiving canvas. Part of our cartoon dinosaur series, designed to play nicely with the others on a nursery wall, a kid's room, or a stitcher's gallery.
