Pattern description
A charming rooster rendered in striking jewel tones and warm sunset colors, this 94 x 94 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures farmyard character with modern color appeal. The bird's confident posture and flowing tail feathers create dynamic movement across the design, while the careful color gradations—from deep browns and oranges to turquoise and cobalt blues—give the rooster dimensional depth and visual interest that rewards the stitcher's attention to thread placement.
This intermediate-level project uses 11 DMC thread colors and translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric, making it an ideal choice for stitchers ready to move beyond beginner patterns. The design works wonderfully as farmhouse décor, a cherished gift for poultry enthusiasts, or a delightful addition to a rustic kitchen. Whether you're drawn to farm animals, love color-rich needlework, or seek a pattern that bridges folk art charm with contemporary aesthetics, this rooster delivers both stitching satisfaction and lasting home appeal.
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.
