5 sizes going from 3.51 inches wide up to 7.51 inches. The penguin is body-navy with a white belly, standing square-on with both arms out holding a string of red, green, yellow, teal and blue lights. Its wearing a red scarf with a small snowflake motif running through it and a santa hat tilted slightly to one side with two little gold star ornaments sticking up from the brim. The overall density runs from 16115 to 39997 stitches depending which size you pick, so the 7.51 inch version is a proper full-size design that needs a large hoop and solid backing.
9 colour stops means this isnt a quick one-thread job. The navy body uses a tight tatami fill to keep the surface smooth, and the red scarf uses directional satin stitching running across to show the knit texture. I usually recommend a stable cutaway stabiliser under the whole hooped area, and if youre going on fleece or terry cloth make sure you lay a water-soluble topping so those fine stripes dont disappear into the pile. One customer sent me a message last Christmas saying they stitched the 5 inch version on a kids navy winter coat and it blended the background colour into the penguin body naturally. Smart move.
Message me if your light bulb sections are skipping thread. Use a fresh 75/11 sharp needle before you start this one. Add this to a kids zip-up hoodie, a sweatshirt, or a flat canvas tote where the full 7 inch version gets the space it deserves. Hoop tight, keep bobbin tension consistent throughout, and centre the design on the chest before you commit.

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.
