Pattern description
A cheerful yellow duck becomes the star of this Valentine's counted cross-stitch design, complete with an orange beak and a single brown eye. Three red hearts float around the plump bird—one on its chest and two floating nearby—creating a sweet, playful composition that celebrates friendship and affection. The 96 x 96 stitch count makes this intermediate-level project manageable without sacrificing charming detail.
Stitched in ten DMC thread colors across Aida fabric, this pattern balances bold yellows and reds with soft peach and pink accents, delivering a warm, joyful mood perfect for Valentine's day or spring needlework. The design works beautifully as a small framed piece, a greeting card motif, or a gift for someone special. Its cheerful animal subject and color palette appeal to crafters seeking projects that feel light-hearted rather than overly sentimental.
