Heres the funny rooster and hes a real mood. Side profile pose, scrawny yellow legs, big red comb flopping over the head and one massive googly eye that looks like he just heard the worst news of his life. Beak hanging open. Pink-peach face shading round the cheeks. Theres no other way to describe it, real comic-strip energy.
The body fill is where it gets fun. Twelve colours run across the feathers, blue on the chest, dark blue underneath, forest green wing tips, dark red trailing tail feather, white belly accents. Its a real bunch of colours layered side by side, kinda just chaotic in the best way. Kid-friendly without being too cute, more like the rooster the chickens make fun of in the coop.
I been digitising goofy farm characters for couple years now. So this one keeps coming up in messages from gift-shop owners and country-kitchen home brands. I get DMs every easter from poultry-club mums asking which size fits a kids apron pocket. Real winner for novelty merch.
Stitch on cream cotton, soft yellow, white or muted dove grey so the colours read sharp. The blue and green feathers pop best against neutral fabric. Skip patterned cloth, the rooster body is already loud. Skip black or dark navy, the dark red and dark blue muddy together thatll waste thread. Best on plain woven cotton or canvas tote material, dont try jersey.
Density runs medium-light at 12,763 to 31,441 stitches across 9 sizes. Use a medium cutaway under cotton knits. Tear-away holds for canvas tote bags. Hoop tight, the cartoon outline has tight curves around the comb and tail that need stable fabric. Tag me through twitter dm if you see thread loops on the back side.

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.
