Elk Forest Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

This is a different take on the elk silhouette concept. The elk head faces right, antlers fully spread, and tucked right below the neck is a heart outline that curls up into the composition. Inside that heart shape: a pine tree line, a figure standing with a rifle up, a hunting dog at their feet, and 3 ducks breaking upward from the right. The whole thing is dense black fill with the inner scene reading through negative space cutouts, no second colour, just contrast and placement doing the work.

5 sizes, ranging from 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall up to 5.3 inches wide by 7.5 inches tall. Stitches run 12488 on the small end and 31353 on the largest. Density is 792, which is the highest in this group, so use a proper cutaway stabiliser, not tear-away. Id also add a wash-away topping when youre stitching on any textured fleece or polar fabric because the fine satin lines on the antlers can sink into pile. A customer ordered the 5-inch size for a hunting-themed valentines day gift last spring, mounted in a heart-shaped frame, and honestly thats where the design concept lands perfectly. Email me if you want a size tweak.

The heart shape makes it work for gifting in a way pure hunting designs dont. Stitch it on a cap front, a chest panel, a canvas bag, or a shirt pocket area. Pair it with a personalised name underneath and it becomes an easy gift for the outdoors person in your life. Hoop it tight, watch your bobbin tension because the 792 density will drag on looser setups, and keep the cutaway backing on the full hoop area, not just under the design.
