This red snowflake geometric is nothing like the curly ornate kind. Go straight to the PDF preview and youll see it immediately, six spines radiating outward with smaller parallel branches coming off each one at a diagonal, finishing in solid diamond-shaped tips. The whole thing looks like something off a Scandinavian woven blanket or a Nordic Christmas jumper. Clean, angular, theres not a curve in sight, and thats entirely the point.
Stitch count sits between 8,308 and 16,862 depending on the size. The satin columns are all flat and parallel which means the thread sheen is very consistent across the whole design. You dont get the varied glint of an ornate piece, but thats actually intentional here. Its supposed to look bold and graphic, like a stamp rather than an illustration, and it reads that way even at 3 inches. Use a light tearaway stabiliser on linen or cotton, the density locks it flat without topping. Skip the topping entirely on felt and thick cotton, theres no pile to fight.
The signal red in the file is the reference, but Ive had people run this in white on a red base fabric and it flips the whole concept, becomes like a cut-out. A customer last Christmas ordered it that way for a full set of eight placemats and she said it was the most commented-on thing at her holiday dinner. Dont overthink the thread colour, the geometry carries it regardless. Sizes go from 3 inches up to 6 inches, stitch onto heavy cotton or felt for best results.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Nordic and Scandinavian Christmas table runners and placematsThe sharp geometric lines read well on linen and cotton, stitch at 5 or 6 inches for a striking table centrepiece.
- Christmas jumper fronts and holiday sweater panelsA 4-inch version sits well on a jumper front, especially in white on a red base.
- Tote bag panels and reusable Christmas gift bagsThe bold outline holds up on heavier canvas totes without getting lost in the weave.
- Tree skirts and mantle banner decorationsRepeat in a ring around the outer edge of a tree skirt for a clean Nordic border.
- Knit and fleece scarf ends and hat panelsA 3-inch stitch at each end of a scarf gives a symmetrical Nordic look without feeling busy.
- Staff aprons for Christmas market vendorsIts quick to run on market aprons in batches, one stop, one colour, low setup time.
- Bold quilt blocks in red-and-white holiday quiltsRed-and-white quilt blocks using this at 3 inches tile really cleanly with minimal spacing.

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.
