Pattern description
This 100x100 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern captures a soaring hawk against a serene blue sky, rendered in warm earthy browns offset by cool muted background tones. The composition emphasizes the bird's powerful silhouette and intricate feather detail, making it an engaging intermediate-level project that rewards careful color placement with striking dimension.

Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
