Here's the big one that didn't get away! Stitch a needlepoint fish, inspired by antique pottery, and show off the freshest catch of the day.
You can even add clear beads to give the project 3-dimensional, glistening scales!
This pattern can be worked in tapestry wool on 14-count canvas. For best results, work the fish area in continental stitch. The background can be worked in textured stitches that resemble water, such as the Tressed stitch, Diagonal Hexagonal stitch, or the the Milanese stitch.
