The goldcrest's tiny golden crown sits among yew sprays and six red arils. In this PDF hand embroidery pattern, the scattered fruits make small warm marks around pale plumage and narrow leaves.

  • 16-page design-specific Stitch Guide PDF with region key, DMC palette and recommended sequence
  • Full-size A3 transfer PDF and matching SVG

Before tracing the pattern

Artwork canvas: 232 x 300 mm, portrait, including the open background areas. Print the separate A3 transfer at Actual Size / 100% and check the 50 mm control bar. Guide previews are reduced. These are canvas dimensions, not a finished hoop, cushion or bag size. The Stitch Guide itself uses US Letter pages.

A closer look at the motif

Goldcrest in the Yew Shadow balances a small golden marking against six red botanical accents. Keep the two wing bars separate and allow the yew sprays to leave clear cloth around the bird's face and tail.

The stitch recipes

The guide maps 12 working regions with local stitch direction, strand count and DMC colour recipes. Use the region key and recommended sequence to follow the overlaps and changes in shading. Mapped techniques include broken stem and fill, curved long-and-short, directional long-and-short.

Are the red arils stitched as open holes?

Their centres are dark shaded thread fields. The surrounding fabric stays intact, and the red outer areas remain separate from the yew sprays.

Linen and colour planning

Suggested fabric: muted blue linen. The palette proposes 17 DMC shades for stranded cotton. Supply your own needles, hoop or frame and a transfer method suitable for the cloth. Test the transfer and physical thread colours on a small swatch first.
