Its a unicorn. Its wearing a santa hat. And honestly this is one of those designs where you look at it and go yep, thats exactly what I needed. The unicorn body is done in white satin fills with a hint of shading in the mane, which has lil streaks of pink and lilac running through it. The hat sits slightly crooked, red body, fluffy cream brim, tiny gold bell at the tip. The horn is a tight gold satin column with a spiral underlay to keep it crisp. 12 colours total and theyll all sequence through cleanly.
Stitch count runs from about 19k on the 3.5-in build up to 47k on the 7.5-inch, so its a proper full-detail design. Ya need a good cutaway stabiliser for anything on knit fabric because the satin columns in the horn and outline wont stay sharp on a stretchy base. On woven cotton or a stable canvas it stitches out really smoothly. I digitised this in my software so the colour-stop sequence is already optimised, you wont get a bunch of unnecessary thread changes.
One of my mums who does personalised kids gifts ordered the 5-in build on a white fleece blanket last december and said her daughter basically refused to give it to the customer. Totally understandable. The 12 colour palette looks rich and the gold horn catches light in a way that makes the piece feel a lil expensive.
Pair it with a name or text below on matching red or white. Hoop tight on fleece with a tearaway plus topping combo. Pop it on a pale pink tee for a girls gift that looks genuinely custom. Skip dark fabrics here, the white unicorn body needs a light background to read properly. Bug me on chat if something stitches funny.

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.
