Pattern description
A charming folk-style rooster commands the canvas in rich burnt orange, golden yellows, and warm browns. The bird's layered plumage is rendered with careful color gradation, from the deep mahogany of the body to the bright golden-yellow underbelly, creating striking visual depth. White spaces separate the color blocks, giving the design a clean, graphic quality that reads clearly even at a distance.
This intermediate-level counted cross-stitch spans 92×92 stitches and uses just nine DMC thread colors, making it an approachable project for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns. The warm, earthy palette suits farmhouse decor, kitchen textiles, or gift needlework for poultry enthusiasts. Worked on standard Aida fabric with the included DMC thread guide, the finished piece captures the charm of vintage farm illustration in modern needlework form.
