Did you know?
Black swans are native to Australia and are among the world's most striking waterfowl, with glossy jet-black plumage and striking red beaks. Unlike their northern hemisphere white cousins, black swans were unknown to Europeans until the 17th century and became symbols of rarity and elegance in art and literature. They are highly graceful swimmers and mate for life, often seen gliding in pairs across lakes and waterways.

Pattern description
This monochromatic counted cross-stitch captures a graceful black swan gliding across water in cool, sophisticated grays and blacks.

At 62 × 62 stitches, this beginner-friendly pattern works beautifully on standard Aida cloth and finishes as a small, elegant piece perfect for a bedroom, study, or as a thoughtful handmade gift for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts.
