Bring country colour to your stitching with this elegant rooster design, shown standing proud with a long sweep of layered tail feathers and a soft ground shadow beneath him. The realistic style and varied palette of black, red, yellow, gold, teal, green and cream give him the look of a well-kept farm bird rather than a cartoon cockerel. It suits anyone decorating kitchen linens, farmhouse pieces or clothing that needs a confident bird motif with a bit more presence.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it keeps the feathering defined without turning heavy, which helps the colour changes read clearly across the body and tail. It would sit especially well on a denim shirt back, a canvas apron, a market tote, or the front of a cushion where the leg band and shadow can be seen properly. With 12 size options from 3 inch to 10 inch, it works equally well as a neat chest detail or as a larger feature on sturdier fabrics.
