Kokako 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 kōkako sits in a forked branch among five leaves. Slate plumage meets an oxblood ground; small blue wattles supply the concentrated colour, with lichen and feather highlights kept subordinate.

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: Forked branch; Five leaves and small fern; Long tail and folded wing; Slate body and crown; Face, eye and open bill; Blue wattles; Feet and restrained lichen.

What is the colour focus in the kōkako portrait?

The small blue wattles against slate feathers. Keep their scale tied to the face, and use the surrounding dark-to-light transitions to describe the body rather than enlarging the accent.

Files included

  • 20-page Stitch Guide PDF
  • Hand Embroidery Stitch Sampler - Essential Needlework Handbook, 16-page bonus PDF
  • Colour reference JPG

Size and printing

The full design field is 23.2 × 30 cm, including margins, in portrait 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 oxblood burgundy 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.
