Same bold stag silhouette, totally different vibe. The head and neck fill solid black same as youd expect. But the lights here are round globe bulbs, the fat balloon-style ones, not the old elongated teardrops. They sit along a white cord that drapes between the tine tips like someone just tossed the strand up there and it happened to land perfectly.
Six colours in the bulbs, which is two more than it sounds like once theyre all stitched in. Green, red, orange, teal, yellow, purple. That spread of 6 colours is what pushes the stitch count to 9,208 on the large size. Each globe gets its own satin fill circle with a tiny white highlight dot near the top, which gives em a bit of dimension so they read more like actual glass baubles than flat discs.
Four sizes from 2.5 by 1.73 inches up to 5.5 by 3.81 inches. Had a customer this past November order it for a kids fleece jumper, specifically the round globe style rather than elongated bulbs because she wanted it to look softer and less sharp on a toddler gift. Said the round lights suit younger-look gear better than the pointed kind, which is a fair point. Kids stuff, mug rugs, festive tote panels, all suit this one well.
Density sits at 439 stitches per square inch, so slightly denser than some silhouette designs, mainly because of how many clean-edge globe outlines need to register right. Hoop firmly and use a medium cutaway. Skip regular tearaway on knits as the black body fill will drag the edges out of registration. Pop a stabilising topping layer on fleece and take the speed down a notch so the fill stitches in clean. Ping the shop if a colour run looks off and Ill take a look at the file.

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.
