Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a tender farmyard moment with a fluffy yellow chick standing beside a warm, mottled brown egg. The soft palette of creams, pale yellows, and peachy tones creates a gentle, homespun mood against the dark background, making the subjects glow with subtle warmth.

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.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
