Harrier hand embroidery pattern with a 20-page PDF stitch guide. This is a digital download for stitching by hand; no finished embroidery or supplies are included.
A female harrier banks low over reeds. Brown shoulders, long flight feathers and a subdued marsh share a close range of tones, leaving feather direction to separate the bird from its surroundings.
Inside the guide
A numbered map divides the design into 7 working areas. The guide includes stitch direction and sequence, preparation, practice samples, finishing guidance and 20 suggested DMC shades.
Working areas: Marsh bands and water; Two foreground reed groups; Rounded trailing tail; Far raised wing; Near descending wing; Breast and pale shoulders; Head, eye and hooked bill.
Is this harrier project mainly about bright colour?
No. Its interest is in related browns and long feather groups. Small tonal changes and the separation between bird and reeds matter more than strong colour accents.

Size and printing
The full design field is 30 × 23.2 cm, including margins, in landscape orientation. This is the drawing field, not the bird’s body length. Print the A3 PDF at Actual Size / 100% and measure the 50 mm control bar. Allow extra fabric beyond the field for mounting or sewing.
Before you stitch
Suggested level: intermediate to advanced. Use stable, even-weave linen, six-strand embroidery cotton, a fine needle and a frame that accommodates the design. The reference shows dusty celadon-grey linen. Test your transfer method and the suggested thread colours on your chosen cloth before starting; screen colours and thread dye lots vary.
File use
The PDF guide is in English. No physical item is shipped. The SVG contains linework, not machine-embroidery stitches. Lifestyle images do not include sewing patterns for the objects shown.
Personal, non-commercial use only. Do not resell, share or redistribute the files, linework or reference images.
Design note
AI tools were used in developing the design and reference visuals. Lifestyle images are digital placement concepts, not photographs of a stitched sample.
