Walrus On The Ice Rink
walrus-hockey
$ 4.50 excl. VAT
A stylized walrus plays hockey on a dark ice rink. Large color blocks and low confetti make for a steady, relaxed stitching rhythm.
Suitable for beginners who enjoy clear shapes and simple shading.
Description
This design shows a walrus in motion on the ice, with bold striping and a strong contrast against a dark background. The palette uses eight DMC-based colors with effective overlap, so you spend more time filling areas than changing threads. With only 45.2% coverage and no isolated stitches, the stitching feels open and predictable.
Color blocks are generous, so you can work in longer runs without constant counting. Edge detail is present around the walrus outline and stick, but the edge density is moderate and easy to follow. Confetti is minimal at 1.0%, so there is very little stopping to place single stitches.
The dark background and ice shadows rely on simple shading rather than fine detail, which keeps focus light. This suits beginners and relaxed evening stitching, or anyone wanting a break from dense, high-confetti projects. Stitchers who prefer intricate textures, heavy backstitch, or complex backgrounds may find this design too straightforward.
It works well as a compact, graphic piece for a playful display. Walrus On The Ice Rink 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 Walrus On The Ice Rink through themes like care, handmade, which can make the finished piece feel personal rather than purely decorative.

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).
