Three of em, side by side, each one slightly different. Left gnome holds a honey dipper, the centre one has a braided beard with a honey pot at his feet, right one clutches a small amber jar. The hats are all different too, one has flower motifs, one has diagonal stripe geometry, the third has dot patterns. Its kinda like somebody designed a whole gnome family for a cottage honey farm and then had to pick just 3.
18 colours across the trio is what youll see when theres that much hat variation going on. Wilcom mapped the amber yellow fills with alternating stitch directions across all 3 hats so they read as distinct panels rather than one flat block. The design sits wide and low, more horizontal than vertical, which is why its so good for tea towels, table runner ends, or the front panel of a wide zip pouch.
I get requests for this one from people doing cottage-themed craft fairs. One customer last march made up a batch of natural linen tea towels with this on one end and a matching honey jar motif on the other, sold out her first market. She used the 3.5-inch height size which sits at about 2.06 inches wide per trio, so it sat neatly in the corner without crowding the hem.
Stitch this onto natural linen and the warm amber and sage tones sit against the fabric in a way that feels considered. Avoid white backgrounds or the ivory beard and cream details disappear. Pale cream cotton works well too. Use standard tearaway stabiliser for woven linen, swap to medium cutaway for cotton jersey. 17 colour changes total so sort your bobbins before you start the run. Email me if you want a size recommendation for a specific project and Ill get back to you.

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.
