Sketched this one out with the candy angle in mind from the start, the peppermint flowers are the whole reason this reindeer unicorn works as a design. Most reindeer unicorn faces have holly or snowflakes but this one uses those pinwheel peppermint candies at the collar and it just kinda reads like christmas in a completely different way. Green petals, red centre discs, three blooms clustered right at the neckline.
The rest of the face is actual reindeer, not just a unicorn with antlers stuck on. Brown naturalistically shaped antlers branch wide on both sides. Brown and tan inner ears at the sides. The round red nose at the bottom centre, yes its a rudolph nose, its meant to be there. Candy-cane horn at the top with alternating crimson and forest green satin segments. Long curling black lashes in a wide arc and mixed star clusters at the cheeks in both colours.
5 colours in the sequence: Black, a warm brown, cream highlight, green, red. 4 sizes from 3.51 to 6.51 inches wide, heights run from 2.97 to 5.51 inches. Stitch counts go from 6,495 up to 12,851, digitising done in my software with 26 to 29 trims per size. Use cutaway stabiliser on knits, tearaway on wovens. Stitch the mid 4.5 on cream fleece and youll see exactly why I like this one. Pick white or ivory for the background fabric if you can, the brown antlers warm up nicely against it. Ive had great results on natural cotton canvas aswell. One customer ordered this last christmas week for a set of holiday kitchen towels and said those candy blooms came out better than she expected at 3.5 inches. Text me if you run into anything with the download.

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.
