Shamrock Gnome Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Round little gnome, big tall hat that takes up most of the design, and a three-leaf shamrock held out front in both hands. The hat is the focal point, it sits in a deep kelly green with satin fill running top to bottom. Below the brim theres a cream fluffy beard that covers most of the face, just the tiny red nose dot peeking out. Five colours total and the whole thing is charming in that way gnome designs always are. Totally different vibe from the other shamrock pieces Ive made this season.

Hat is satin-stitched with directional fill lines so the green looks like fabric not just flat fill. Beard sections use a shorter dense fill that gives it that fluffy texture. Stitch count is proper for a design this detailed, sitting around 25k at the small end and climbing to 65k at the 7-inch version. Density is about 1225 overall and the software I use did the underlay sequencing so the layers build up clean without puckering at the brim edge or the shamrock stems.

If you want the safest result use a light green or white cotton base fabric. The hat pops hardest against pale backgrounds and the beard reads best when theres contrast. I had a customer last march who ordered 40 of the 4-inch version for a church fair and stitched them on white canvas tote bags. She said the whole batch was done over a long weekend and the file was solid the whole way through, not a single re-run. Thats the kind of feedback I like getting.

Pop firm cutaway any fabric with stretch. On rigid canvas or woven cotton a medium tearaway is fine. Hoop it snug because the hat brim area has dense satin and itll lift if the tension is loose. Pop it on a sweatshirt front, a tote bag panel, or a kids apron for a march craft session. Bug me on chat if something stitches funny.
