Folk Art Buffalo Cross Stitch Pattern - Ornamental Animal Design - PDF Download

This majestic folk art buffalo joins the ornamental animal series with striking presence. Rendered in deep indigo and steel blue with sweeping cream-colored horns, its powerful body is covered in richly detailed mandala-style florals and geometric motifs in rust red, mustard gold, and cream. Small folk-style flowers frame the design on either side, echoing the same decorative language found throughout the series. Bold, earthy, and full of character, this piece makes a striking statement stitch for any collection.

Like its companions in the series, this buffalo pairs beautifully with other ornamental creature patterns for stitchers building a themed animal collection or a colorful folk-art gallery wall.
