Cute Pink Dolphin Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Baby dolphin jumping, drawn in that round chibi style where the head takes up almost half the whole body and the eye is big enough to see the little white highlight dot in it. Bright bubblegum pink all over, with a lighter grey-white belly patch running up the front. On the chest theres a cluster of tiny hot pink heart shapes reading as scales, which is one of those details kids absolutely lose it over. Three bubble circles float off to the upper right, each one a simple grey outline with a white centre, giving just enough sense of water without needing any wave fill underneath.

Eight colours to make it work: the main pink, the belly grey, the outline dark, the warm brown of the eye, a white highlight, a hot pink for the hearts, plus the bubble outline and their inner tint. Directional satin fill on the body follows the dolphin curve so the sheen of the thread reads like a smooth wet skin when it catches light. Density at 731 stitches per square inch means its fully filled and solid, no gaps in the pink when you wash it.

Five sizes, smallest is 3.27 by 3.51 inches and largest is 7 by 7.51. Smallest goes on a bib or a onesie chest without crowding the snap area. The 5-inch sits well on a t-shirt front for a toddler. Large fills a kids beach bag front or a cot quilt square nicely. I sold a set of these last summer, my client ordered them on white onesies for a seaside-themed nursery gift set, and the heart scale detail on the chest was the bit everyone commented on first.

Use cutaway stabiliser for knit fabrics like onesies and jersey tees. Tearaway is fine on a quilting cotton tote or a woven bib. Hoop a onesie snug and float a topping on the front panel, the loop of the knit can grab the fine outline stitches otherwise. Skip dark backgrounds, the pink doesnt show against navy or charcoal. Pastel yellow, soft aqua, white and lavender all work nicely. Hit the message inbox if the eye detail feathers on a loose knit and ill run through the topping options.
