Penguin 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 penguin bows towards one egg sheltered at its feet. Resting flippers frame the pale belly, with small warm accents near the head; the egg stays visible within the compact upright pose.
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: Five stones and pebble terrace; Low right-hand grass; Silver back and resting flippers; Ivory belly and brood fold; Golden chest and orange patches; Bowed head, eye and long bill; Two feet and the single egg.
Where should the egg sit in the penguin design?
At the feet beneath the bowed head, as drawn in the reference. Preserve the small surrounding gaps so the egg remains distinct from the pale belly and ground.

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 deep smoky plum-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.
