From Flora Klickmann's The Little Girl's Sewing Book, full of projects that are deemed simple enough to be tackled by pre-teens. The cozy is on page 47 of the free Gutenberg ebook.
Thanks for finding this. What a great little book. I've been looking for patterns to knit into a toddler's sweater, and, even though knit stitches aren't square like canvas, some of the cross stitch patterns should work just fine as a border. It's no wonder these girls grew up to be the women who could embroider lifelike flowers with perfect shading using the wonderful silk embroidery threads available at the time.
What a lovely little book! I am particularly fond of the drawings from the twenties. If cats are not your thing, there are also some lambs and puppies!

Sweet cross stitch critters! Got a baby girl joining the family in May, so these are perfect!
