For some reason the person who made the pattern decided the letter D must be in this four different ways for the key. This one was very tricky regardless and I can't wait to give it to my mother.

It's a paid pattern or is share it but it's say over half of the stitches are not adjacent to the same color. I didn't realize how many different shades is one tone is blue there is. It did make it easier to be lazy when I would forget to do a stitch though since they all blend well.

Hah, that's my approach with my current full coverage too. Oh, I made a small mistake or left an empty spot? These colours are all so similar I'll just fill it with whatever ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

It's a great effect in this piece though, hopefully worth fiddling with all those blues!

As someone who's dabbled in pixel art, I can't help thinking that it should be possible to reduce the number of colours and stray singleton stitches in that one without degrading the image by much, if at all. It would be a bear to get 100% right according to the pattern. Nice job!

Yeah probably the colors are very subtle. I'd say this was 96% accurate though.
