This one came together as a proper christmas and unicorn mashup. The face is all about attitude, those long curled lashes do most of the expression work, and then above them theres a full holly-leaf wreath with a red-and-green spiral horn shooting up from the centre. Actual reindeer antlers flank the whole thing in warm brown. It shouldnt work but it really does.
5 colours total: tan brown antlers, peach ear interiors, black lashes, holly green for the wreath and horn base, red for the horn candy-cane stripes and 2 of the lil star accents. 4 colour changes, so ya need to be at the machine or set up auto-stop. At the small 3.5 its 7,167 stitches which is manageable. The 7.5-inch goes up to 20,021, thats a serious project piece, Id recommend hooping a firm cutaway stabiliser and using a topping on anything with texture.
I was suprised how popular this style got during christmas last year, one customer grabbed every size in the range to run different placements on a whole set of kids pyjamas for her daughters class. Each kid got a slightly different size apparently. Thats a fun use of the size range.
Check bobbin tension before starting the lash section at smaller sizes, those fine satin curves will skip if the bobbin is even slightly loose. Use a topping on fleece so the horn stripes dont bleed into the pile. Pop it on onesies, backpacks, sweatshirts, or a christmas stocking front this december. Avoid dark green base fabrics, the holly wreath will disappear into the background.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
