Ive gotten alot of messages asking about a halloween ice cream design and this is the one Im always pointing people to first. The cone is that classic waffle pattern in a sandy brown thread, crosshatch fill with a dark red-brown underlay giving it real depth. Above the cone sits a tower of eyeballs buried in bright green slime, which sounds unhinged but reads well in thread because the lime yellow eyeball whites contrast clearly against the green slime.
Each eyeball has three layers: a yellowish sclera fill, a darker concentric iris in tight satin with directional shading, then a black pupil at the centre. Four or five eyeballs appear depending on the size you stitch, youll see more at the larger sizes. Green slime drips hang off the outer edges as satin-filled teardrop shapes. The black outline runs the full perimeter as a bean stitch keeping all 8 colours from bleeding. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser and a 75/11 sharp needle for the dense inner fill areas.
Narrow and tall, the smallest size is 1.37 inches wide by 3.51 tall. Stitch count from 16,927 up to 37,060 at the full 7.51 inch height. Density at 1,690 stitches per square inch. One customer ran the 4.5 inch run for a kids halloween t-shirt last september and said its survived three washes already without any pulling. Avoid tear-away on knit at this density. Send me message if your hoop clearance is tight on the narrow width and Ill check the minimum frame needed for your machine.

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.
