Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern showcases a stylized peacock rendered in rich jewel tones—deep blues, vibrant greens, warm oranges, and magentas—arranged in a symmetrical, ornamental composition. The design spans 99 × 99 stitches and employs just seven DMC thread colors to build striking visual depth across classic Aida fabric.
The bird's elegant upright pose dominates the center, crowned by a tall, fanned tail radiating outward in stacked geometric layers. Intricate decorative borders frame the peacock with repeating motifs—Greek key patterns, crosses, zigzags, and floral accents—creating a formal, gallery-like presentation. At intermediate skill level, this pattern rewards careful color changes and neat tension with a showstopping heirloom-quality piece ideal for framing or home décor.
