The stethoscope tube is bent into the shape of a three-leaf clover. Thats the whole idea and its done well. The tubing curves into three rounded lobes forming a shamrock outline, and the words sit nested inside. ONE in bold caps at the top lobe, lucky in flowing cursive across the middle where the lobes meet, NURSE in solid caps below. The actual stethoscope chest piece hangs off the bottom as its own separate element, completing the tool.
Single colour, all kelly green, no thread changes. Density is lower at 308 stitches per square centimetre, which keeps the piece from feeling stiff or heavy on woven scrub fabric. Stitch counts run from 7,051 on the smallest size up to 16,412 on the 7.11-inch wide version, it runs quick on the machine even at the large end. Five sizes total, widths from 3.32 to 7.11 inches.
A customer ordering for her whole ward team last march got in touch after stitching up the first sample on a white scrub top. She said the way the tubing loops into the clover shape made several of her colleagues stop and look twice before they realised what it was. Kinda the best feedback you can get, honestly. Left chest placement on a scrub top is the standard spot, but it also fits clean on a canvas tote or white apron bib. I put the design together specifically for the march nurses week and St. Patricks Day overlap that comes up every year.
Use medium cutaway stabiliser on woven scrub tops, cotton twill and canvas. Tear-away on denim or stiff canvas. Single green reads best on white, light grey or pale blue fabric. Skip dark navy or forest green, single-colour outline work loses the tube detail on dark ground. Hoop flat and make sure the stethoscope outline passes run before the fill sections inside the lobes.
Message me if the file format isnt reading right on your end and Ill find a thread substitute or resend in whichever format works.

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.
