Pattern description
This intermediate-level cross-stitch design features a bold rooster rendered in rich jewel tones—deep teal, emerald green, sapphire blue, and burgundy—creating a striking visual impact against crisp white accents. The rooster's confident stance and detailed feather work showcase dynamic composition, with the bird's vibrant plumage occupying the full 112 x 112 stitch count. The color palette evokes a sophisticated, modern farmhouse aesthetic that transcends typical pastoral needlework.
At 22 DMC thread colors, this pattern demands intermediate stitching skills and rewards attention to detail with its color-blocking technique. The high stitch count delivers substantial needlework engagement without overwhelming beginners ready to advance their abilities. Cross-stitchers will appreciate the complexity of blending warm oranges and yellows in the rooster's breast with cool, saturated tones throughout the wings and tail feathers.
Perfect for framing as farmhouse décor or gifting to poultry enthusiasts, this rooster design brings personality and color depth to any room. The jewel-toned palette makes it equally at home in contemporary, eclectic, or traditional interiors. Stitched on standard Aida fabric with the provided DMC thread colors, the finished piece creates a memorable focal point celebrating rural charm with sophisticated color sensibility.
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.
