Cozy Cinnamon Hot Cocoa Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Mug of hot cocoa with cinnamon stick and marshmallows, made after getting a bunch of requests for a winter mug design that wasnt just text on a cup. The mug itself is a wide ceramic shape, slightly tapered at the base, in a warm terracotta tone with directional satin fills that give it an actual curved ceramic look rather than just a flat orange block. Inside the mug, rich chocolate brown fills the top of the liquid with a lighter tan tone at the rim edge where the light would catch it. The whipped cream sits in a loose pile on top, ivory with a textured fill so it doesnt look like a blob, more like actual cream.

A cinnamon stick in rust-orange leans across the rim at a slight angle. Two thin steam curls rise from the top in a soft grey running stitch, kept deliberately light so they dont overpower the whole composition. 9 colours in total: the terracotta body, 2 brown tones for the cocoa, cream, cinnamon, grey for steam, a dusty blush for the mug handle accent, charcoal for the outline work, and a golden tan for the inner rim highlight. Density is 1,176 stitches per inch so this is alot of texture in a small footprint.

9 sizes from 4.51 inches wide up to 8.51 wide, heights from 3.18 to 6 inches. Thats a wider-than-tall ratio since the mug design is naturally landscape-leaning. Stitch counts run from 27,498 at the small end to 60,022 on the largest, so plan your stabiliser accordingly. A heavier cutaway is the right call here, especially for the mid and large sizes on any fabric that isnt tightly woven. One customer who makes holiday kitchen towels ordered the 6-inch size last november and said it ran in under 40 minutes on her commercial Brother machine. She hooped the cream-coloured linen tight and got zero puckering under the handle section which is the tricky satin area.

Cream linen, warm white cotton canvas, and natural-coloured burlap all work well with this warm palette. Avoid cool grey or blue fabric because the terracotta mug loses its warmth against cool undertones. Try it on kitchen towels, fabric coasters, apron pockets, or holiday tote bags. Hoop firm and use a mesh cutaway under linen so the dense mug body satin stays flat through washing.
