$ 6.50 excl. VAT
Detailed golden carp rendered in a clean side profile. The stitching rhythm is steady with moderate color changes and clear shading bands.
Suits stitchers who enjoy structured repetition and neat, readable charts.
Description
This design shows a single golden carp in crisp side view, with clear fins, scales, and shading along the body. The chart uses 12 DMC-based colors, so you will switch threads regularly but not constantly. Around half of the fabric remains unstitched, which keeps the piece visually light and speeds up progress.
Confetti is present in small areas of the scales, but most stitches sit in short, logical runs that are easy to follow. The edges of the fish are well defined, so outlining the silhouette requires some focus but not extreme patience. With no isolated stitches, you can work efficiently without constant rethreading.
The pattern suits stitchers who like a balanced mix of focus and relaxation and are comfortable managing a modest palette. It may not appeal to those who prefer very simple, blocky color sections or large, background-heavy scenes. The horizontal format works well for display in living spaces, offices, or hobby rooms.
Overall, it offers a satisfying medium-term project with a clear sense of progress. Golden Carp in Profile 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 Medium (Balanced), 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. There’s a balanced amount of confetti: enough detail to keep it interesting, but not so much that it becomes fussy.
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 Carp in Profile 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).
