Candy cane in red and cream stripes with a cluster of green holly leaves tucked in at the neck. The cane has that diagonal stripe pattern running the full length, thick alternating bands of deep red and off-white, with the hook curving at the top. The holly leaves fan out behind the curve of the hook, pointed shapes in a medium green without any berries. Its simple and clean, the kind of design that works on basically any cotton christmas project without competing with other elements.
Digitised carefully in industry-grade software, 4 colours, 5 sizes from 3.5 inches 7 in jumbo wide. Stitch count runs from 4,701 to 13,368. Density is 392, which is on the lighter side, keeps the stripe detail from getting too heavy on thinner fabrics like cotton quilting weight or linen. Mount tearaway stabiliser onto most wovens. The satin fill on the red stripes needs good tension so hoop firmly and run a test piece if youre using a slippery or loosely woven fabric. Slow your machine a kinda for the stripe sections.
Customers have been stitching this one on red and white christmas aprons, cotton placemats, cream linen gift bags, and childrens pyjama fronts. My niece actually asked me to put it on the pocket of her christmas jammies last year and it came out realy well on the white flannel. Works on any neutral or white base fabric, skip dark colours because the cream stripes wont show up properly.

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.
