"Ew. People." Cross Stitch Pattern

Introverted? You don’t say!

This delightfully dry design features two wary cats peeking up from the bottom of the frame, with one delivering the deadpan verdict: “Ew. People.” It’s equal parts cute, funny, and deeply relatable — especially if you prefer your four-legged friends to most humans.

The finished piece is beginner-friendly, stitched in just one color of floss, and perfect for quick stitching sessions. Printed as a two-page leaflet, the pattern includes a black and white chart and DMC key. Stitch it up for your office, craft corner, or anywhere you need a little people-free zone.

How much fabric do I need?
To calculate the amount of fabric you will need for your project, divide the number of stitches by the stitch count of the fabric you wish to use. The higher the count of your fabric, the smaller your piece will be. Some examples appear below. Remember to leave several additional inches as a border on each side, to facilitate framing your project when it is finished.

Fabric count	Approximate size of stitched area
14-count	8 ½" × 4 ¼"
18-count	6 ½" × 3 ¼"
25-count	4 ¾" × 2 ¼"
