Pattern description
This intermediate counted cross stitch pattern captures a bold rooster rendered in rich, saturated colors—deep reds, forest greens, and golden yellows. The upright composition emphasizes the bird's proud stance and flowing tail feathers, making it an ideal motif for farmhouse décor or country-themed needlework projects. The 27 DMC thread colors create wonderful depth and dimension across the 108×108 stitch count.
Stitched on standard Aida fabric, this pattern balances complexity with achievability, offering experienced needleworkers an engaging challenge without requiring advanced expertise. The jewel-toned palette gives the piece a warm, rustic character perfect for framing or displaying in kitchens and breakfast nooks. Whether you're seeking a meaningful gift for farm lovers or creating heirloom-quality wall art, this rooster design delivers authentic farmyard charm with satisfying color work and classic counted cross stitch 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.
