An adorable smiling cheeseburger with rosy cheeks, rendered in pixel-art style — a playful kawaii-food design for kids or fun kitchen decor.
Your pattern is at the end of this page, right after the stitching guide below.
A round cheeseburger with a happy face, rosy blush marks, and just enough visible lettuce and cheese to read clearly at a tiny size. At only 26 x 23 stitches, this is one of the smallest patterns in the whole collection — a genuine one-sitting stitch.
This is the kawaii-character half of a matching pair we carry alongside a more realistic cheeseburger pattern — reach for this one when you want personality over accuracy, whether that’s a keychain for a kid’s backpack, a patch on a lunch bag, or a quick funny gift for someone who lives for fast food. Its small finished size also makes it one of the easiest patterns here to work into a multi-piece kitchen gallery without any single frame dominating the wall.
With only 502 total stitches across 11 colors, this is about as approachable as this collection gets. DMC 898 (Coffee Brown - Very Dark, the bun) and 3856 (Mahogany - Ultra Very Light, the highlight) cover 327 stitches between them — nearly two-thirds of the design — with the remaining colors filling in cheese, lettuce, and the tiny blush marks in small amounts.
Because the whole design is under 30 stitches wide, use a magnifier or good lighting rather than relying on the printed chart’s grid lines alone — at this scale, misreading a single square shifts the smile off-center more noticeably than it would on a larger piece. DMC 819 (Baby Pink - Light) appears just once for a cheek blush; place that stitch after everything else is done so you can eyeball its position against the finished face instead of guessing from the chart alone. See our pixel art cross-stitch guide for more on this flat-color style, or our kawaii food pattern roundup for more cute food designs like this one.
