Did you know?
Hummingbirds are among the smallest living birds, with some species weighing less than a penny. Their distinctive jewel-like plumage—often featuring iridescent reds, greens, and magentas—comes from microscopic structures in their feathers that refract light rather than true pigment. These aerial acrobats can hover in place, fly backward, and reach flight speeds exceeding 60 mph during territorial displays.

Pattern description
A brilliantly colored hummingbird captured mid-flight dominates this 62×62 counted cross-stitch design. The bird's plumage showcases rich jewel tones—vibrant orange wings, deep forest green back, and a striking magenta throat patch—all rendered in ten carefully selected DMC thread colors. The intermediate-skill pattern sits within a charming green geometric border that frames the composition perfectly.
Stitching this design rewards needleworkers with lively color transitions and the satisfying challenge of blending subtle shades to capture the hummingbird's iridescent quality. The compact stitch count makes it ideal for a framed accent piece or small wall art, while its warm, saturated palette brings movement and natural beauty to any room. Whether you're an experienced stitcher looking for a focused project or seeking a nature-inspired gift for a bird lover, this counted cross-stitch pattern combines technical interest with visual impact.
