Sea life needlepoint patterns

Sea life to stitch: whales, dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, octopus, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, starfish, shells, coral and fish, with seabirds.

Most can also be made as a round ornament. If you would like the ground behind a figure to read as water, the background is the place to try a stitch other than tent. All of these are four inches square on 18 mesh, so work a small patch in the margin first to see how it looks.
