Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch design captures a vibrant red fish rendered in warm coral and salmon tones across a 182 x 182 stitch count. The palette progresses from deep burnt orange along the head and dorsal fin through bright coral on the body, creating dimensional shading that brings the fish to life. The composition is bold and sidewise-facing, making it ideal for vertical framing or ocean-themed needlework projects. With 10 DMC thread colors and advanced skill level, this pattern rewards experienced stitchers with satisfying color blending and intricate detail work.
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.
