Pattern description
Six charming puffins gather along a sandy beach in this 160x160 stitch composition, rendered in cool turquoise waters and warm sand tones. The pattern captures these distinctive seabirds mid-waddle, with their characteristic black and white plumage and orange beaks depicted in precise detail. Perfect for ocean lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, this counted cross stitch project uses nine DMC thread colors to build depth and dimension across the coastal scene.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
