Pattern description
This 112 x 112 stitch counted cross-stitch pattern features a jewel-toned indigo bunting perched against a luminous golden-orange backdrop. The composition balances the bird's vivid cobalt plumage and dark wing detail against a richly textured, warm-hued foliage background that glows with amber, rust, and moss accents. At intermediate skill level, the design uses 30 DMC thread colors to achieve depth and dimension, making it an engaging stitching project that rewards patience with a striking visual payoff. The warm, naturalistic color palette creates an inviting piece suitable for framing or displaying year-round, while the subject's brilliant blue brings focal energy to any room.
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.
