Knitting Girl Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Knitting girl designs are popular with crafters who also embroider, which when you think about it is alot of people. Four colours, the figure has a warm skin tone, a solid clothing fill, hair in a separate colour, and the yarn in an accent shade that draws your eye to the needles. The needles are satin lines with a slight crossing angle so they read as actual knitting needles and not just crossed sticks. Its one of those designs that feels specific without being fussy.

Five sizes from 2.87 by 3.5 inches up to 6.15 by 7.5 inches, stitch count going from 16113 at the small end to 34249 at the full size. Density at 743 means its a substantive fill, particularly in the clothing areas which have directional satin to give the fabric folds some depth. Use cutaway stabiliser on any knit base fabric. Run a firm tearaway under woven linen or canvas. Dont skip the underlay sequence or the clothing fill puckers at the satin transitions. Occured puckering on previous runs almost always comes from hooping too loose.

One customer used this on tote bags for a local knitting club last winter and said the four-colour sequence ran without a single error on her Brother machine. She said the hair and yarn colours she'd chosen were coordinated and the whole thing looked really polished. Pop the 4 inch on a canvas tote or a plain cotton sweatshirt depending on the occasion. Add the 3 inch on a mug rug or a small pouch as a gift for a knitter. Best results on firmly woven cotton where the satin runs stay crisp and dont sink into the weave.
