A tropical fish with crisp stripes and bright fins, worked in counted cross stitch on evenweave and finished with a fine orange border that frames the design. Back stitch is used for the outlines and for the details of the head and fins, giving the subject depth.
Evenweave is worked by counting threads, usually over two threads per stitch, and the yarn organizer keeps the fifteen colours tidy from start to finish. With a limited palette and a clear chart, it suits stitchers with little experience too. A hoop and a frame are not included: once finished, the piece can be framed or made up into a cushion.
