Pattern description
This compact 46 x 46 stitch pattern captures a majestic peacock in rich jewel tones—deep blues, vibrant greens, and warm golds accented with orange and black outlines. The pixelated style emphasizes the bird's distinctive profile, with its elegant long neck and elaborate tail feathers rendered in bold, saturated hues that pop against any fabric. The color blocking creates excellent visual contrast, making this design immediately recognizable despite its small scale.
Ideal for beginners, this seven-color DMC project combines straightforward counted cross stitch on standard Aida fabric with enough color variety to keep the work engaging. The manageable stitch count makes it perfect for completing in just a few stitching sessions, offering a satisfying first project or a charming gift piece. Stitched on 14-count Aida and framed, the peacock becomes a bold decorative accent for modern or eclectic home décor, while the cheerful palette suits any season or occasion.
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.
