{"product_id":"christmas-gnome-candy","title":"Cute Christmas Gnome with Candy Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeres a chubby lil gnome design I drew up for the holidays. The tall purple hat slumps over so far you cant see his eyes, just the big round wooden nose poking out of the white-grey beard. One hand holds a red swirl lollipop with green holly leaves tucked behind it, the other clutches a tiny yellow gingerbread house with red windows. And theres a abit of pink and yellow gift detail running up the hat trim aswell. Real storybook cartoon vibes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve thread colours run through this one, so its not a quick beginner stitch. But the colour stack is what gives the hat that layered knitted look, dark magenta into pink into green ribbon, then red lollipop, brown gingerbread, holly green. Stitch count goes from 34,772 at the smallest 3.51 inch wide size up to 59,453 at the largest 4.51 inch wide. Density sits around 1,358 so its dense fill territory, hoop with a firm cutaway stabiliser at minimum. I digitised it in industry software with proper directional satin on the hat bands so the knit ribbing reads clearly even on textured fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had a customer last november order this one for a pair of matching christmas hoodies for her grandkids. She put the largest size on the chest of a dark charcoal kids hoodie and the lollipop colour pops off the dark fabric like nothing else. She did mention she needed a layer of poly mesh cutaway plus water-soluble topping because the fleece nap was kinda thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest fabric picks: medium-weight cotton, sweatshirt fleece, cotton canvas, linen tea towels. Skip stretchy tees with this one because the dense fill on the hat will pucker without proper hoop tension. Pop a cutaway stabiliser behind, hoop firmly, and use a topping on anything napped. Pick the 3.51 inch for kids apparel pockets and the 4.51 inch for adult chest placement or stocking fronts. Holler if your machine chokes on the trim count, theres 191 trims so it does take a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259394609302,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteChristmasGnomewithCandyEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771739730","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-gnome-candy","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
