$ 3.90 excl. VAT
A small, sleepy whale floats across the fabric in soft blues, topped with a simple straw hat. The low color count and clustered stitches create an easy, steady rhythm.
Suited to beginners or anyone wanting a calm, low-focus project.
Description
This design shows a plump, resting whale in gentle blue tones wearing a straw hat, with clean edges and no background. With only nine thread colors and mostly grouped stitches, the stitching flow is predictable and easy to follow. Confetti is minimal, so you will not be stopping often to change colors for single stitches.
The moderate edge density means there is some outlining and shaping, but it does not require constant counting or sharp attention. Coverage is just over half, so the fabric shows through and keeps the project feeling light and quick. The small size makes it practical as a weekend or evening project.
It suits beginners who are comfortable with basic cross stitch and want to practice neat edges. More experienced stitchers may enjoy it as a simple, relaxing break between larger or more detailed pieces. Stitchers who prefer dense, highly detailed or fully covered work may find this design too minimal.
Sleepy Whale In Straw Hat is designed to stitch well, not just to look good: the pattern’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 you’ll want to bring to the table. It’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 you’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 Sleepy Whale In Straw Hat 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 “filled” it is).
Colors is the number of floss colors used (with an “effective” estimate that reflects how strongly colors actually appear).
Difficulty is a 1–10 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 “edgy” 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).
