Three little gnomes lined up side by side, each with a tall pointed hat and a long fluffy beard covering most of the face. only the small round nose pokes through. Each hat carries a green shamrock motif on the front. The three gnomes have slightly different beard angles so they dont look like identical clones.
5 colours total. irish green on the hats, white and cream beards layered together for depth, peach for the noses, gold for the small belt buckles and deep emerald shamrock leaves. Theres a brown horizontal ground line under the trio which anchors them on the fabric and its a nice grounding touch.
I get orders for shamrock gnomes from late january right through march, this trio is one of my busiest seasonal designs. last march a customer ordered the largest version for a pub apron run, said the bar staff wore them through the whole st patricks day weekend. another customer stitched it on her grandsons cotton tee for an irish themed first birthday and shes already asked about a follow up design.
Comes in 5 sizes from 3.5 inch wide up to 7.5 inch wide which suits chest size right up to apron front. Stitch count is 13.7k to 28.4k. Sits well on cotton tee, denim apron, linen tea towel, brushed fleece, twill pub bar runner.
Use a tearaway behind any woven cotton and switch to a heavy cutaway for stretchy tees because the white beard density gets high. Stitch the hats before the beards so the beard fluff sits on top of the hat brim. Avoid dark green fabric, the shamrock motif loses contrast against the same colour. Stitch on cream or natural fabric for best read.

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.
