Pattern description
This charming cross-stitch pattern features a stylized bird with striking red and pink plumage balanced on a wooden perch, set against a bold golden-yellow sun dominating the composition. The 68 x 68 stitch count makes it an accessible intermediate project that captures warmth and movement through bright, saturated colors—18 DMC thread shades create dimensional depth in the bird's feathers and the sun's glowing gradient. The pixel-art aesthetic gives the piece a contemporary, playful character that translates beautifully onto 14-count Aida fabric, perfect for framing as a cheerful home accent or gifting to bird lovers and sunset enthusiasts alike.
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.
