Simple Nautical Anchor Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Worked up this simple anchor silhouette for people who wanted the nautical feel without all the rope detail and texture work. Its a actually clean shape, just the anchor body filled in solid black, the ring at the top, the crossbar in the middle, and those straight angled flukes at the base. No rope, no texture pattern on the fill, just a flat solid shape. Sometimes thats exactly what you need.

Four sizes: smallest is just over 1 inch, which is genuinely tiny, then 1.71 inches, 2.50 inches, and up to 4.50 inches on the big end. Stitch count on the tiniest is only 1,184 stitches so it zips through fast. The largest runs 5,415. Digitising was done in industry tools so the fill density is set right even at the small sizes, which is where a lot of anchor designs fall apart and get blobby.

Works on basically any fabric, cotton jersey, denim, canvas, linen, fleece. Add light tearaway wovens, cutaway if youre gonna stitch the small size on stretchy knit fabric. One colour change total, which is kinda just the thread start and stop.

A customer last month used the 1 inch version on a set of navy cotton napkins for a coastal dinner party and said they looked great. Pop those tiny versions on collar points, sleeve cuffs, handkerchief corners. Use the 4.5 inch on a tote or cap. Send me a note if anything looks off in the file and Ill fix it right away.
