Celestial Manatees

14 ct, stitched over 1 strands

Manatees are rather large creatures, so they need a lot of... space! Seems these two found just that. Floating is what they do best, anyway. There are two other NeedleLot Designs pattern in this same celestial style: Celestial Orcas and Celestial Whaleshark, available on my website and Etsy! They are the same size and look great together. Colors & Stitching: This design uses 8 DMC colours and requires half stitches in addition to full stitches. The half stitches are intended to let the fabric show through, but for a deeper, more saturated look, you can opt to use full stitches in these areas instead. Difficulty: intermediate. Design Size: The pattern is 148 stitches wide x 71 stitches high. On count 14 fabric, the design is 10-1/2 inches wide x 5 inches high, or 26.9cm wide x 12.9cm high. The pattern also contains measurements for 16 and 18 count Aida. Model Fabric: Fabric used in the image: 32ct Wichelt-Permin linen in the color 'Touch of Blue', nr. 303.
