The thing that makes this one different is the colour palette, its only 3 colours total and it works better than you'd expect. Black, red, dark green. Thats it. The snowflakes handle alot of the visual weight and you dont need more to make it feel festive. The horn is done candy-cane style with alternating red and dark green satin segments spiralling up, which I dont think Ive done with this particular combo before.
The snowflake arrangement is the main event here. One large red snowflake sits dead centre across the forehead with an open geometric centre, the kind where the satin stitch radiates outward from the middle in spokes. Two smaller emerald snowflakes sit on either side, same lace-like detail pattern scaled down. Below that the eyes are fully closed with long dramatic black lashes that fan outward in a wide arc. Red inner ear fill at the sides, tiny red stars at the temples. Clean and graphic.
Five sizes from 3.50 to 7.50 inches wide, heights 3.45 up to 7.39 inches. Stitches run from 8,598 at the smallest up to 19,178 at the largest, with 50 to 62 trims in the sequence depending on size. Density is 346 so its not overly heavy, medium-weight cutaway or tearaway both work. A customer wrote me asking if the unicorn horn glittered in dim light, and we got talking about fabric choice, the red snowflake centre reads sharp even on dark backgrounds so black fabric works great. Best on white, cream, or black cotton. Avoid busy prints. Email me if something's off with the file and Ill get it fixed.

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.
