Cute Gnome With Daisy Butterfly Embroidery Design, Polka Dot Hat Pattern, Instant Download

Spring garden gnome with a tall mustard yellow hat covered in tiny brown polka dots, standing on a small olive grass patch. In one glove he holds a tall daisy stalk and at the top of that stalk a peach butterfly is perched mid-rest, wings spread open showing detailed pattern work. White striped beard runs down past his belly, peach round nose, light brown shoes.

Butterfly wings use careful directional stitching so the inner pattern reads as actual butterfly markings, not a flat orange blob. Daisy petals are simple satin columns radiating from a textured yellow centre. Mustard hat fill is dense, the polka dots are tiny brown circles dropped on top so they punch through cleanly without bleeding into the yellow underneath. Honestly its one of those layered fills that wouldnt work if you rushed the densities, theres no shortcut here.

Fourteen colour changes on this one, which feels like alot until you realise most are short single-pass runs for tiny details, butterfly markings, daisy stamens, cheek blush. The dense mustard hat is what eats up most of the run time. Last spring I stitched the medium version on a linen apron for my mum and she still wears it every weekend in the garden.

Painterly style means it suits gift projects more than uniforms or workwear. Customers been ordering it for easter towel sets, garden party totes and a few baby quilt panels. Keep the butterfly antennae taut while hooping. Theyre so fine theyll look like loose threads at first glance.

Comes in five sizes from 2.84 inches up to 6.1 inches tall. Stitches gorgeous on cream linen, natural cotton, pale sage waffle and soft canvas. Skip dark fabric, the peach butterfly and mustard hat both lose punch on anything below a light tan. Drop tearaway behind woven cotton, use cutaway for stretch knits. Text me if the download stalls and ill push out a fresh copy within hours, its an easy fix on my end.
