Christmas Snowman with Candy Cane Embroidery Design, Holiday Snowman Pattern, Instant Download

A proper round-bodied snowman figure with a top hat, carrot nose, scarf, button details, and a candy cane held out to one side. The body isnt just a flat white satin fill: theres shading built into the underlay on the chest and head sections to give it a rounded 3D quality when stitched. Six colours in total: white on the body, black for the hat, red and white alternating on the candy cane stripes, orange for the carrot nose, and a warm green or red for the scarf. Density at 997 means you'll feel the weight of this one when its stitched on thick cotton or fleece, its a high-coverage fill design.

Five sizes from 3.51 inches wide to 7.51 inches, and stitch counts are substantial: 21,532 at the smallest up to 47,485 at the largest size. Thats nearly fifty thousand stitches on the top end and you need to plan for it. stick to firm cutaway underneath, nothing lighter, that solid body coverage pulls hard on the fabric base during the run. Float if you cant hoop, but clip the stabiliser close rather than letting it hang loose. A sharp 90/14 needle handles those passes better than a standard 75/11, especially in the 3D shaded sections where multiple satin layers overlap.

Ive seen this go onto stockings, tote bags, and holiday cushion covers but the best result I've personally had was the 6-inch face on a mid-weight white wool blend, the white satin body literally felt sculptural coming off the hoop. One customer who bought it last christmas stitched the 5-inch on a holiday sweatshirt pocket panel and said the raised 3D shading on the chest got comments every time she wore it. Use the small 3.51-inch on a felt christmas stocking panel if ya want a fast project, the stitch count is still 21,532 but it goes quicker than the bigger sizes. Best on stable woven fabrics where all the satin layers can sit flat without topping, though a wash-away sheet helps on any surface with texture.
