Add quiet country charm to your stitching with this elegant strutting cockerel, shown in a realistic style with a proud stance, sharp eye and finely shaped comb and wattle. The long, curved tail feathers give it real presence, while the grass tufts and small leafy plants stop it feeling like a floating motif. It suits anyone who likes farmyard subjects with a more polished, natural look than a cartoon bird.
With 10 thread colours and an open, lightly stitched build, it has detail without becoming heavy, which makes it a good choice for shirts, denim jackets, aprons and sturdy tote bags. It would also sit well on tea towels, table runners or kitchen linens where the navy, red, green and soft neutral shades can stand out cleanly. The wide size range lets you use the same proud rooster as a neat pocket-scale accent or a larger centrepiece on the back of a garment.
