About this design
The body is a rounded orange oval with a darker fin at the bottom and a lighter yellow patch on the side for shine. The tail is a separate fan shape in deep orange, joined to the body by a narrow waist, and the eye has a white highlight so the fish looks alive.
How to use it
Goldfish are an easy first pet pattern for children: few colours and a simple shape. Make several in different colours for a fuse bead aquarium, or stitch one on a bath towel. Flip it horizontally in the editor to make a pair facing each other.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 120 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 15 squares wide and 13 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 5 colours: orange 58 (#FF8822), black 43 (#331100), dark orange 11 (#DD5511), light orange 7 (#FFBB55), white 1 (#FFFFFF). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 7.5 × 6.5 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.7 × 2.4 cm, or 3.5 × 3.0 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#FF8822 does the most work, 48% of the 120 pixels, followed by #331100 at 36%. #FFBB55 (7) and #FFFFFF (1) are used only a little: small details worth marking on the chart so you don't miss them. 53% of the grid is left empty.
Working notes
It is 16 × 16 pixels; at 8× scale it becomes 128 × 128. The busiest row changes colour 10 times.
