Peacock 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 peacock opens its train above a stone step. Blue and gold eyespots repeat across the fan, but visible spaces between the feather shafts prevent the display from becoming a solid panel.

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: Stone step and hosta leaves; Train shafts and open barbs; Blue and gold eyespots; Rump coverts and folded wing; Blue breast and rising neck; Face, bill and upright crest; Two legs and stone contacts.

Does every space in the peacock's train need filling?

No. Open intervals between shafts are part of the design. Work the eyespots as separate repeated details and retain those gaps around them.

Files included

  • 20-page Stitch Guide PDF
  • Hand Embroidery Stitch Sampler - Essential Needlework Handbook, 16-page bonus PDF
  • Colour reference JPG

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 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.
