Christmas Gnome King Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Bold little gnome king standing at attention with a gold crown sitting on top of that massive white beard. He's wearing a long robe in deep royal purple with gold trim along the hem and cuffs, and over one shoulder he's hauling a bulging christmas sack in dark green with a red tie at the top. The beard does what gnome beards do, it dominates the face entirely, only the crown and a hint of a pointed red hat above it show above the white fluff. Eleven colours and none of them feel wasted.

Four sizes, smallest at 3.51 inches wide, the largest at 6.51. Stitch counts running from about 19,000 up to nearly 37,000 at the biggest. The crown jewel details and the robe trim are what push the count higher than a plain gnome design, but its all detail that you can actually see in the finished piece.

A customer who runs a holiday craft business ordered this for a keepsake stocking she was selling. She told me she wanted a gnome that looked a bit different, not the same plain hat design everybody uses. She was happy with it. I keep the file clean so the details dont get muddy even on medium-weight cotton.

Run this on a cream or ivory background and the purple robe and gold crown really come through. Works on forest green felt too if you want the sack to blend into the background and let the king figure stand out. Use the larger sizes on stockings or cushion covers, the smaller sizes on pocket panels or holiday card stock fabric. Dont shrink below the smallest supplied size or the crown detail closes up.

Eleven colours is a longer thread list but the software I use ordered the sequence by colour groups so its manageable. Beard first, then robe sections, crown detail near the end. The jewel spots on the crown are tiny satin fills so take your time and keep them slow. Use cutaway stabiliser underneath especially on thicker fabrics, the density through the robe area is high enough that a tearaway will pucker on you.
