Minimal Stag Antlers Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Just the antlers, nothing else. No deer head underneath, no flowers, no background shapes. Its two sets of tines branching out from central stem, each tine done with tight satin stitching that gives em that solid filled-outline look, not just a running stitch edge. The shape is angular and sharp, the tines are short and pointed with a jagged spread that reads almost like a graphic logo or stylised badge. Very clean, very stripped back. I digitised this one specifically because I kept seeing overly complicated antler designs and wanted something that actually works small without getting muddy.

Single colour, black. Stitch count goes from 1,996 at 2 inches all the way to 8,403 at nearly 6 inches, so you've got proper range here, it runs anywhere from a hat badge up to a full shirt front. Density is 209 which is low, the design is fast to stitch and wont push through your fabric on lighter weights. Tearaway stabiliser is all you need on cotton, canvas or denim. Use standard 75/11 sharp needle, nothing special required here.

I sell this one a lot as a hat emblem, people use the tiny 2-inch version on structured caps all the time. Last autumn I had customers ordering it for a hunting camp gift set, they stitched it on dark olive beanies for the whole group, looked really clean. The minimal style means it works on just about anything without competing with the fabric or other design elements on the garment.

Stitch it on black thread on tan or cream fabric if you want a warm earth-tone look, or go black on navy for something more modern. Skip the 2-inch on knit fabrics, the satin tines are too fine and will pull, start at 3.5 inches minimum on stretch. And if theres any issue with the file send me note and Ill sort it right away.
