This lil guy is running somewhere and he looks very happy about it. Round chubby body, stubby legs mid-kick with motion marks under the hooves, big glossy eyes and pink blush circles on his cheeks. The Santa hat is tilted sideways like hes going too fast to keep it straight. Tiny bell at his collar. Simple branching antlers above the hat. 13 colours.
13 colour stops is alot for a design this size, but the stitching handles the transitions cleanly. You get the warm brown body, cream belly, red hat, black outlines, pink cheeks, a pale blue belly highlight and those small grey speed marks. Dense fill throughout, stitch count starts at 17,247 at 3.5 inches and goes all the way up to 44,113 at 7.5 inches wide. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretchy knit, the density at the large size needs something that wont shift mid-hoop. Plan for a longer run time on the big sizes. Skip dark fabric on this one unless youre using a water-soluble topping, the cream belly and pale blue chest accent need a light base to show up properly.
Last christmas I had customers ordering this on kids sweatshirts, tote bags and pyjama tops, all in the same week. Text me back if you need a size outside the 5 options and Ill see what I can do. Stitch the 5-inch piece on a crew neck sweatshirt for a quick easy holiday gift that doesnt look store-bought.

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.
