Cute Kitty Wrapped in Lights Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Reach any cat owner and theyll recognise this immediately. Round black kitten, barely a neck, huge white eyes just staring forward, and wrapped head to paw in a looping string of christmas lights. The cord does these big loose figure-eight loops around the whole body and you cant really tell where it starts or ends. Its the most cat thing ever.

Six colours here. The cat is all black satin fill which Wilcom laid dense to get a smooth solid look. White fills the big circular eyes with tiny dark pupils. The light cord is dark green and the bulbs are three colours: red, aqua and yellow, each one a small satin oval with a little white highlight dot. All the colours are warm thread defaults so youre not hunting for exotic bobbins.

This gets used alot on holiday cat merch. Im not suprised, theres a whole market of people who buy more christmas gifts for their cat than their family. But its also genuinely good for a festive pet shop window display or an advent calendar project. One customer needed the 5-inch run onto a grey fleece blanket for a cat shelter fundraiser and it sold out before the event even started.

Use a cutaway stabiliser on anything with stretch. The cat body is a big dense black fill and it will pull the fabric if youre not stabilised properly. Topping helps on any textured surface like fleece or terry cloth. Run the dark green cord sections at a slightly reduced speed because the directional jumps between bulbs are tight. Fabric colour matters here, pale grey or cream really lets the green cord and the coloured bulbs sing without the black body disappearing into a dark background.
