Pattern description
Bright yellow eyes and deep teal-and-black striped wings give this counted cross stitch pattern a modern, graphic punch. The 55 x 55 stitch count makes it an ideal beginner project—compact enough to complete quickly but detailed enough to keep stitchers engaged. With just five DMC thread colors creating crisp geometric contrast, this needlework design works beautifully on 14-count Aida fabric and requires minimal color management, making it perfect for crafters building their embroidery skills.
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.
