{"product_id":"raccoon-santa-hat","title":"Cute Raccoon with Santa Hat Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo this is technically listed as a raccoon but its absolutely a kitten. Chubby tabby, sitting square-on, big round eyes, mouth open wide like it just heard something brilliant. The fur's all done in a crosshatch and radial-line technique, 2 colours but the black detail work is so layered it reads as a full tonal drawing. Stripes run down the chest and forehead the way tabby markings actually go, not just parallel lines slapped on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Santa hat sits slightly crooked which is the right call. Brim's a fat white satin band, the hat body's a solid red cone with directional fill to suggest it leans a bit left, and theres a fluffy pompom on the end. Red is the only second colour, everythings else black threadwork. About 3 colour changes in practice because the white brim and pompom share the same stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStitch count is 44,512 on the biggest size at 7.39 by 7.51 inches, proper dense at 802 stitches per square inch. Its got proper heft to it. A customer who does pet portrait commissions for a living said it was the most convincing cat expression she'd seen in a digitised piece. She stitched five of them onto stockings for repeat buyers last autumn. Smallest size is 4.44 by 4.51 inches at 25,377 stitches, still detailed enough to read clearly on a bag front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a medium cutaway and dont skimp on it, the density'll drag thin fabric down. Hoop tightly, preferably a wooden hoop with a screw for extra grip. Firm cotton canvas, thick fleece, heavy twill or a structured tote all take it well. Avoid jersey and thin knits, the crosshatch density'll pucker badly. Slow down to about 700 SPM on the fine fur sections. Check the red thread tension before the hat stitches start, a slightly loose bobbin will ghost red shadow into the brim trim area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46245068996758,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/CuteRaccoonwithSantaHatEmbroideryDesign.png?v=1771047024","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/raccoon-santa-hat","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
