Dog cross stitch patterns: a dachshund, a golden retriever, a row of small dogs

Dog charts are stitched for a dog one lives with, or in memory of one, in a hoop or on a cushion. This pack has three subjects: a dachshund in a red scarf, a golden retriever's head, and a row of five small breeds. Each comes as a classic counted chart, an antique sampler inside a stitched border, and a bold modern version. Type a breed or a theme, such as a puppy, and the same styles carry it.

• a hoop for a hallway or kitchen
• a cushion for a dog lover
• a memorial piece for a dog that has died
• a gift for a dog owner

Frequently asked questions

What are the nine pictures?

Three dog subjects, each in three styles: a dachshund, a golden retriever's head and a row of five breeds, as classic charts, antique samplers and bold modern charts.

What is the difference between the three styles?

The classic chart uses small X stitches on a visible grid in eight to twelve thread colours. The antique sampler uses muted thread colours inside a stitched border. The bold modern version uses saturated flat colours and simplified shapes.

Can I ask for a different breed?

Yes. Type a breed or a theme in the direction field and the three styles are applied to it. What you type is a request, so the picture may differ from the samples.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
