Golf Skull Crossed Clubs Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Skull and crossbones but make it golf. The crown of the skull is rendered as a golf ball, full dimple texture stitched right in, and the crossbones underneath are two iron clubs crossed at the jaw with a tee sitting central where the spine would meet. Sweet detail on the face, the eye sockets and teeth get small white satin highlights so the skull reads in 3D instead of falling flat into a black blob. Bit of a punk-patch energy, perfect for golfers who think the sport could use a little more attitude.

Two colours, black does almost all of the lifting at around 11,637 stitches on the 4-inch size, with white coming in second at 1,951 stitches for the highlights and the dimple shadows. Five sizes total, smallest is 3.01 inches and 10,215 stitches, biggest is 7.01 inches wide and 25,037 stitches. Density runs 607 which is on the heavier side because of all the solid black fill packed across the skull and clubs. Im warning ya now, the 7-inch version is dense enough you want a sharp 75/11 needle and good polyester thread or its gonna fray.

Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The golf-ball dimples are individual short satin stitches stacked with directional underlay to keep the texture readable even at 3 inches. The club shafts use long-stitch satin pulls so you might need to slow your machine speed if its an older multi-needle and prone to thread breaks on long pulls. A customer wrote me last autumn about stitching the 5-inch on his Sunday tournament bag and it ran clean once he slowed the head speed. I get messages about this one alot from people stitching golf bags so heres the advice up front, use a 90/14 needle on canvas and 75/11 on knits.

Best on charcoal, black, white, navy, and red cotton or fleece. The white highlights pop hardest on a black ground which is the obvious play. Use heavy cutaway behind any knit because of the stitch density, two layers if its a thin tee. Skip stretchy performance polyester unless you double up the cutaway, the dense fill will shrink the fabric otherwise. Pop a topping over pique polos. Reach out anytime if you need the highlights pulled into a different colour and ill swap the second stop.
