Art Nouveau Peacock Feather Cross Stitch Pattern PDF for metallic floss

An art nouveau peacock feather cross stitch pattern in warm gold, straw, muted lavender, and deep blue, the feathers arranged in a classic heart composition. 69 x 63 stitches across 6 DMC shades for vintage, boho, and maximalist decor.

The peacock has a long history as a symbol of beauty, renewal, and grace across many cultures, and this design draws on that lineage with soft golden feathers and a rich heart shape. A small piece with real presence, suited to a framed wall hanging, a standing tabletop frame, hoop art, or the front of a small cushion. The pattern includes two full chart versions: one using standard DMC floss, and one using DMC Light Effects metallic thread for subtle shimmer — challenging but stunning. Choose whichever suits your mood and experience, or use one strand of each.
