Reindeer Trio Christmas Lights Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Three cartoon reindeer in a row with a string of christmas lights looped across their antlers connecting all three. Its a wide horizontal design, taller than it is wide at the smaller sizes but the largest 4.5 inch width fills a hoodie chest nicely. Thats the size most of my customers go for. The centre deer sits down on all fours, the outer two stand up, which gives the trio a cute uneven energy rather than three identical shapes in a line. Nine colours including the multicolour bulbs on the light string.

Density sits at 695 and the design is moderately complex because of the nine colour stops and the thin light string details that run across the antlers. Load the body fills first, then the blush and face marks, then the garland bulbs last so the small satin fills sit cleanly on top without bleed. Tape a stable cutaway on knits and fleece, the combined width of three figures will pull on a tearaway if youre going on a jersey hoodie. Tearaway is fine on stable woven cotton and its what I use for all my tote bag tests.

Five sizes from 2.11 x 3.51 inches at 10,110 stitches up to 4.51 x 7.51 inches at 23,556 stitches. The design is taller than wide at all sizes because the antlers push the height up. At 4.51 inches wide on a hoodie chest it sits nicely below the neckline without the antler tips crowding the collar. Stitch at a moderate speed on the light bulb sections, those small dense satin fills can shift if the machine rushes them. Check your hoop is tight before starting.

People have been ordering this one for kids christmas pyjamas and matching family hoodie sets since I released it last autumn. My customers with young kids particularly love it because the three reindeer can stand in for their family count, like a fun visual shorthand. Stitch on white, grey, or red fabric for the clearest result. The cream belly patches vanish on white fabric so try grey if you want the full belly contrast. Send me a photo if you stitch it, I love seeing em on finished pieces.
