Stitch up this sweet kitten taking a nap under the jade plant today!
Play with perspective in this Catnap Under the Jade pattern. Through the use of more strands of floss for close-up objects (making thicker lines) and fewer strands of floss for faraway objects (making thinner lines), this pattern emphasizes perspective. This is also a great example of how you can use multiple strands of floss in a pattern!
