Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a peacock in rich, saturated hues that evoke the bird's legendary plumage. The composition centers on a striking blue vertical form—the peacock's body or neck—surrounded by radiating eye motifs in warm yellows, oranges, and greens. The palette spans vibrant jewel tones: emerald greens, sapphire blues, golden yellows, and coral reds, creating depth and visual drama across the 58 × 58 stitch count.
At just 9 DMC thread colors and beginner skill level, this pattern suits new stitchers eager to work with bold, graphic color blocking rather than subtle blending. The geometric, pixelated style typical of small counted cross stitch designs translates beautifully into a bold, modern aesthetic that reads clearly even at this modest size.
Perfect for framing in a small hoop or finishing as a decorative accent piece, this peacock design brings ornamental elegance to any room. The jewel-toned color story makes it ideal for spaces with eclectic or boho-chic décor, or as a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who appreciates avian symbolism and vibrant needlework. Stitch it on 14-count Aida with the included DMC palette for a finished piece that celebrates nature's most flamboyant bird.
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.
