Heres the trio of baby elephants and theyre real sweet. Three lil elephants standing side by side, all front-facing. Left one has its trunk raised mid-trumpet. Middle one is a chubby lil baby just standing chill with both ears fanned out. Right one looks like its mid-laugh with the trunk curled.
The whole design is line art style. Ink black contours carry the outlines and the shading lines on the bodies. Soft warm grey fill sits inside the bellies and round the ears for that bit of dimension. Three colours total. Black, grey, and a tiny bit of white for the highlights round the eyes.
I drew this last christmas thinking of my niece who was obsessed with the elephant page in her storybook, she kept pointing at the chubby middle one. So I gave the middle baby that round belly and stocky little legs to match. I shipped a bundle of these to a baby-shower planner in austin last february and her photos still get likes.
Stitch on cream cotton, soft grey, oat linen or pale yellow for warmest read. White cotton works lovely too, especially for nursery cot quilts. Skip dark navy or black, ya wont see the soft grey fill at all, the line art will lose dimension. Skip patterned fabric because three characters need negative space to read clean.
Density runs medium-light at 13,389 to 32,610 stitches across 9 sizes. The design is tall and narrow, around 1.65 inches wide and 7.5 inches tall on largest. Use mid-weight cutaway on cotton, tear-away on a baby blanket panel. Hoop firm, ease the rpm during the trunk and ear directional fill runs. Holler through whatsapp if a colour change skips on your version.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
