Chef Hat with Crossed Knives Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Single colour all the way through. A tall traditional chef toque sits at the top, the kind with the pleated body and the flat brim band. Beneath it two kitchen knives cross blade-up in a heraldic crest arrangement, handles pointing outward, blades meeting in the centre at a clean angle. No fills, all outlines and fine directional stitching inside the hat body that gives it texture without adding colour stops.

One colour means zero colour changes, zero thread trimming mid-stitch, and a stitch count running from just 5,007 at the 2.78-inch size up to 14,917 at full 5.95 inches across nine sizes. Its one of the faster files to run and thats what makes it so good for bulk kitchen uniform work. I know that sounds obvious but 334 density is genuinely light, most machines wont break a sweat.

Customers who buy this are usually running aprons. A customer wrote me a couple months ago, she runs a small catering company and needed something professional for her staff aprons. She went with the 4-in run on dark twill aprons in white thread and shared the photo. Sharp. The crossed knives read really clearly against dark fabric because of the way the satin columns on the blades catch the light differently from the hat outline stitching.

Best on charcoal, denim or black canvas in white thread, or white linen in charcoal. Tearaway stabiliser is enough at 334 density. Dont over-hoop because the fine outline stitching on the knife blades can gap if ya pull too tight going in. Skip dense boucle or heavily textured fabric where the blade satin columns sink. Send me a message through the shop if the file isnt cooperating and Ill get you sorted.
