Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern features a charming bird rendered in striking jewel tones—vibrant magenta, warm orange, and complementary accent colors. The design measures 106 x 106 stitches and uses six DMC thread colors to create a bold, contemporary look that pops against any background. Perfect for crafters seeking a motif with visual impact and personality.
The intermediate skill level makes this pattern an ideal next step for stitchers ready to expand beyond beginner projects. Working with six coordinated DMC colors builds confidence in color blending while the square format works beautifully on standard Aida fabric. Once finished, this piece transforms into striking home decor—mount it as a framed sampler, incorporate it into a decorative pillow cover, or gift it to bird enthusiasts who appreciate vibrant, modern needlework. The free printable PDF chart simplifies preparation and allows you to stitch at your own pace.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
