{"product_id":"christmas-gnome-hot-cocoa","title":"Christmas Gnome with Hot Cocoa Embroidery Design, Holiday Gnome Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy sister stitched this one up last november on a plain cream sweatshirt and honestly it looked like something from a Scandinavian gift shop. The design is this chunky little gnome, completely round body, you can barely see the face at all because the beard fills most of the lower half. Whats really fun about this one is the hat, its oversized and floppy, red with big yellow spots and a little white pompom that droops to one side. He's clutching a tall red mug with a swirl of whipped cream on top, and his curled brown boots stick out at the bottom like he just rolled in from the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack it with a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser before you hoop anything, this is a dense design with over sixty thousand stitches at the largest size. There are twelve colour changes so have your thread colours laid out before you start. The actual colour sequence runs through gold, a peachy skin tone for the nose, red going on both the hat and the mug, dark green for the body coat, deep maroon in the hat shadow zone, white, a bit of mauve and light green for detail accents, and then a lot of black for the heavy outline that gives the whole thing that illustrated look. Don't skip the black, its what makes everything pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour sizes available: the smallest comes in just under 3.6 inches tall and the largest goes to about 6 inches, which is a good front-of-sweatshirt size. Use a topper on fleece or anything with a nap or the detailed linework gets a bit lost. On smooth quilting cotton or canvas the detail comes through really clearly. Great design to stitch once and reuse on multiple seasonal pieces since it doesnt read as strictly christmas, just cosy winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266681819286,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/ChristmasGnomewithHotCocoaEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1772257436","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/christmas-gnome-hot-cocoa","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
