Just the face. No body, no legs, just the unicorn head centred in the frame, eyes softly closed with long black lashes fanning out below. The ears are solid black on the outsides with a light mint interior, and the horn sits centre-top, wrapped tight in a spiral of gold and cream. Across the forehead theres a crown built from overlapping hearts in three different greens, with two tiny three-leaf clovers tucked in at the sides like theyre growing out of the crown itself.
Five colours, but theyre all in the same green family except for the gold horn, so the whole thing holds together as one colour story. The heart layers go light mint at the back, through medium sage, up to kelly green at the front, which gives the crown actual visual depth even though its flat fill. At 25,656 stitches on the biggest size most of that count is in the heart fills and the lash sections. The lashes are single satin stitch runs, which is whats giving them the clean tapered look.
Ping me if those eyelashes come out thick or clumped, because on a few machines the running stitch density on fine work like that needs a 15% slowdown to stitch clean. Got maybe 4 or 5 notes about this last march, one customer per note basically and sorted em all out same day. Its not a hard fix, just takes knowing what to adjust on each machine.
Works best on white or cream fabric so the green reads clearly. Pale mint or soft yellow also does the job. Avoid anything darker than light grey or the lighter green fills get lost without a topping layer. Use medium cutaway stabiliser and float it if youre going onto jersey or stretch knit so the design stays centred.
Ping me if the file wont open or anything stitches wrong and Ill rework the design path.

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.
