Kiwi 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 kiwi probes the forest floor beneath an arching silver fern. Its low brown body sits among roots and curled leaves, with the long bill kept clear of the finer botanical lines.

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: Low forest floor and scattered moss; Two exposed root branches; Four curled leaf forms; Fern arch and smaller frond; Rounded body and shaggy feather flow; Small head, bill and fine bristles; Two stout legs and planted feet.

How do the kiwi feathers differ from the silver fern?

The bird uses short, shaggy-looking feather groups. The fern depends on ordered leaflets along its stem, so a different stitch rhythm keeps the two brown-green textures distinct.

Files included

  • 20-page Stitch Guide PDF
  • Hand Embroidery Stitch Sampler - Essential Needlework Handbook, 16-page bonus PDF
  • Colour reference JPG
  • Full-size A3 transfer PDF with a 50 mm print-control bar
  • White-background and transparent line art PNGs at 600 dpi
  • Dimensioned SVG linework
  • 10 lifestyle concept JPGs for placement inspiration

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 petrol-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.
