Pattern description
This 220x220 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern brings farmyard charm with a vibrant, richly-colored cast of poultry. The composition features a bold red and blue rooster at left, a green hen with rust-toned plumage in the center, a tiny yellow chick, and a warm brown hen on the right. The jewel-toned palette of 22 DMC colors creates depth and visual interest across the neutral background.
At advanced skill level, this needlework project offers experienced stitchers a rewarding challenge with intricate color transitions and fine detail work. The pattern works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric, creating a finished piece ideal for framing in a farmhouse kitchen or country-themed room. Perfect for poultry enthusiasts and cross-stitch veterans alike, the farm animal motif celebrates pastoral life while the saturated hues ensure the finished embroidery remains a striking home-decor statement piece.
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.
