Cute Christmas Cow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The cow has this really round face, almost a perfect circle, white with big irregular brown patches stitched across the body in flat satin fill. One little orange horn pokes out from the right side of the head and the ears flop out at the sides. The eyes are large black circles with a tiny white catchlight dot and a row of lashes that give it that whole anime-cow thing. Theres a tiny orange cowbell hanging at the chest, kinda just sitting there like the cow put it on specially.

The Santa hat is where the digitising really had to work. Its a full red satin hat with a dark red cross-hatch texture stitched over the top layer, a thick grey band of dense fill at the brim and a fat fluffy white pompom at the tip. Ten colours total and the machine does 10 colour changes across the run. At the largest 7.5 by 5.27 inch size its 30,597 stitches, at the smallest 5.5 inch its around 20,267 which is still really solid weight for a cartoon fill piece.

I get messages from people running farm-themed christmas markets every november asking for something exactly like this. One dairy farmer I know in yorkshire had her daughter customising tea towels and aprons with it to sell at their farm shop last december. The cow just resonates with country christmas people in a way generic reindeer dont. Its their animal, its got a hat on, its done.

Stitch on cream cotton, oatmeal linen or white fleece for the cleanest read. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the satin fill density on the hat brim and face demands firm backing. Pair it with a red gingham tea towel border and ya got a proper farmhouse christmas gift item. Avoid busy fabric patterns because the white body just disappears.
