Mandarin Duck Pair 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.

The male mandarin's orange sail feathers stand beside the female's softer brown plumage. Five maple leaves bring autumn colour across the water without closing the space around either duck.

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: Water and two floating leaves; Branch and three attached leaves; Female body and folded wing; Male flank, chest and crown; Two upright orange sails; Male cheek, bill and eye; Female face and quiet gaze.

Does the guide cover both mandarin ducks?

Yes. The design includes the male and female, whose plumage requires different treatment. The female is not a reduced or recoloured copy of the more ornamental male.

Size and printing

The full design field is 30 × 23.2 cm, including margins, in landscape 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 muted aubergine 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.
