Elegant Christmas Reindeer with Lights Embroidery Design, Holiday Deer Pattern

A reindeer wearing lights like jewellery, antlers draped in a string of bulbs, head turned at a slight angle so youre seeing the full antler spread. Its not the cartoony kind of reindeer design, more the elegant stylised version where the details actually look like something. Warm browns, tan highlights on the face and throat, and 8 colours total in the palette.

Stitch count starts at 21,722 on the smallest and climbs to 56,014 on the largest which is one of the highest counts in my christmas range. Density comes in at 1,353 per square inch so the coverage is really dense and the colours sit very solid on the surface. Worth the stitch time. Gorgeous on a plain dark navy or charcoal base fabric.

I recieved a message this past november from a customer who asked if the antler area was done with satin or fill stitches, because she wanted to know how it would sit on terry towel. Satin columns on the antlers, tatami fill on the body sections.

Five sizes, narrowest 3.5 inches wide by 2.58 tall, widest 7.5 by 5.52 inches. The wide landscape format means its great on the yoke area of a jacket or across the chest of a wider shirt rather than just centred left-chest. Add firm cutaway knit fabrics, tearaway on woven cotton twill.

Hoop firmly and use a topping on velvet or fleece. Skip sheer fabrics at the larger sizes where the density makes pulling more likely. Text me via the shop contact form if youve got fabric-specific questions before starting your project.
