Pattern description
A charming farm animal portrait rendered in soft, muted pastels, this 118 x 118 stitch pattern captures a standing pig in gentle pink tones against a neutral gray background. The composition emphasizes the pig's distinctive profile with naturalistic proportions, making it an engaging subject for needleworkers seeking something beyond traditional florals or abstracts. The color palette relies on twenty DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the animal's form.
Perfect for intermediate stitchers, this counted cross-stitch design offers enough complexity to keep you engaged without overwhelming beginners. The warm peachy-pink flesh tones contrast softly with cool gray surroundings, creating a contemporary aesthetic that suits modern farmhouse or cottage-core home décor. The finished piece makes an ideal gift for animal lovers, farmers, or anyone drawn to quirky, character-filled needlework. Stitch it on white or cream Aida fabric for maximum color impact, then frame it as wall art or incorporate it into a pillow project.
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.
