Golden Labrador Portrait

labrador-redriver

$ 3.90 excl. VAT

Compact portrait of a golden Labrador in warm, solid color blocks. The stitching rhythm is steady with very little counting strain or color hopping.
Suits beginners and relaxed evening stitching.

Description

This design shows a close-up golden Labrador head against a dark background, with clear shapes and strong contrast. The chart uses only 11 DMC-based colors, so thread changes are limited and easy to track. Most areas are filled with medium-sized blocks of color, giving you a calm, repetitive stitching flow.

With coverage at about seventy percent, there is enough background to feel complete without becoming heavy or dense. Confetti is almost absent, so you rarely need to park threads or chase single stitches. Edges around the muzzle, ears, and eyes are smooth and readable, which keeps backtracking and unpicking to a minimum.

The small size makes it manageable as a first portrait or a quick project between larger pieces. It is well suited to beginners who know basic cross stitch and to experienced stitchers wanting a low-effort, satisfying dog motif. Stitchers who enjoy complex shading, heavy detail, or high-confetti challenges may find this design too simple.

Golden Labrador Portrait is designed to stitch well, not just to look good: the patternโ€™s structure supports a focused, steady rhythm and clear progress milestones. Difficulty-wise it sits in the range of Easy (Relaxed), which mainly reflects how much thread management and precision youโ€™ll want to bring to the table. Itโ€™s compact enough to feel finishable quickly while still giving a polished result.

The palette stays calm and controlled, which makes the stitching rhythm straightforward and relaxing. Confetti stays low, so youโ€™ll enjoy larger, cleaner stitch runs and quick visible progress. High edge contrast means crisp outlines and frequent color transitions, which gives the finished piece a sharp, high-definition look.

The overall feel leans calm, focus, craft, which helps the design stay visually coherent while you work through it. Many stitchers also read Golden Labrador Portrait through themes like care, handmade, which can make the finished piece feel personal rather than purely decorative. A strong focal point plus consistent micro-structure keeps the stitching experience rewarding over time.

Stitched is the total number of stitches used (the overall workload).

Coverage is the percentage of the design area that contains stitched pixels (how โ€œfilledโ€ it is).

Colors is the number of floss colors used (with an โ€œeffectiveโ€ estimate that reflects how strongly colors actually appear).

Difficulty is a 1โ€“10 score: 1 = very easy, 10 = extremely challenging.

Confetti_0 counts stitches that have no same-color neighbor directly around them; Confetti_1, Confetti_2, and Confetti_3 apply the same idea with a larger surrounding distance (+1, +2, +3 stitches).

Edge density indicates how โ€œedgyโ€ the design is (more edges = more frequent color changes).

Isolated is the share of stitches that appear as isolated single pixels (often the most interruption-prone stitches).
