Turn a photo of your rabbit into a cross-stitch pattern
Short answer: a rabbit sitting still, in profile or facing you, on a plain background stitches well even at a small size: 60 to 90 stitches wide with 8 to 12 colours.
A good first portrait
Rabbits have a simple outline: round body, long ears, one big eye. That shape reads well even in a small pattern, so a rabbit is a nice first photo project.
Which photo works best
- Close and clear: the face fills most of the frame, in focus.
- Even light: daylight from a window, no harsh shadows across the face.
- A plain background that contrasts with the subject. It becomes a simple area of stitches, not hundreds of tiny colour changes.
Details to check in the preview
- Both ears stand out from the background.
- The eye is a dark spot with a small light highlight.
- White fur keeps a few grey shades, so the body isn't flat.
