Egret 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.
An egret lifts one foot beneath an S-shaped neck. Near-white feathers stand against blue cloth, surrounded by sparse reeds and water marks that leave the slender legs and toes visible.
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: Sparse water and bank; Reeds and narrow leaves; Body foundation; Folded wing and trailing feathers; S-neck, head and bill; Standing leg and raised foot; Fine plumes and final lights.
Is the egret intended for an upright placement?
Yes. Its long neck and legs belong to a portrait composition. Use the recorded design field and add mounting allowance outside it rather than rotating the bird to fit.

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 blue 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.
