Sushi roll

A plump sushi roll piled high with orange roe, with rice, avocado and a ring of nori, set against a bright pink background. The 60 × 60 design fills the whole square in 14 DMC colours, so it finishes as a bold little block of colour about 4.3 in across on 14-count Aida, which suits a 5-inch hoop.

Designer Notes

Use 2 strands for all cross stitches. This is a full-coverage design: the pink background (DMC 961) makes up over half the stitches, so stitch the sushi first and fill the background last. The roe and rice use lots of single-stitch colour changes, so parking your threads helps.

Recommended frame: 5-inch round hoop
