Pattern description
This counted cross stitch pattern captures a graceful peacock in rich, jewel-toned hues—deep blues, teals, purples, and accents of gold and coral. The 63 x 63 stitch count makes it a perfectly proportioned intermediate project, while the flowing composition of scattered feathers descending below the bird creates dynamic visual movement across your Aida fabric. With 16 carefully selected DMC thread colors, the design showcases beautiful color blending and shading techniques that reward careful attention to detail.
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.
