Blue Marlin Side Profile
blue-marlin-makaira-nigri
$ 3.90 excl. VAT
Slim, horizontal motif of a blue marlin in side view with clean pixel-style shading. The low coverage and limited palette create a steady, relaxed stitching rhythm with very little counting stress.
Suits beginners and anyone wanting a focused, single-evening or weekend sea-life project.
Description
This design shows a streamlined blue marlin in full side profile, rendered in a crisp, pixel-like style. The 174×79 stitch size is long and narrow, which feels similar to working a compact banner or bookmark. With only 10 colors and an effective palette of about 7, color changes are easy to track and remember.
Coverage is just over 30%, so there is plenty of open fabric and the stitching moves quickly without feeling dense. Confetti is low, so you rarely place isolated stitches or jump around the chart, which supports a calm, repetitive rhythm. The moderate edge density means there is some outlining and fin detail, but it stays manageable for newer stitchers.
This suits beginners who are comfortable with basic counting and anyone who enjoys neat, graphic sea-life motifs. Stitchers who prefer full-coverage realism or highly blended shading may find this too simple. It works well as a focused side project between larger, more demanding pieces.
Blue Marlin Side 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 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. 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 Blue Marlin Side Profile 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).
