Maltese Dog
This delightful cross stitch pattern captures the soft, cloud-like coat and gentle expression of a Maltese, rendered in a warm and characterful portrait style. The fluffy white fur and sweet dark eyes give the finished piece a real sense of personality, making it a joy to work on from the very first stitch.
Whether you are stitching it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a dog lover, this design would look wonderful framed on a wall. It suits a range of stitchers and is a lovely addition to any home.

CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so use the DMC column for those brands.CXC and Sullivans skeins carry the DMC number, so the codes above cover them too.
These lengths include the thread lost to tails and travelling, so they are what to buy rather than what ends up on the fabric. A spare skein of your main colours is still worth having, because dye lots vary between batches and matching one part way through is the hard part.
HobbyTub also converts to Ariadna, CXC, Gamma, Luca-S and Sullivans. Pick your brand when you start the project.
