Drew this one up as a pure line-art piece, so theres alot of open space in the design. Its not your typical chunky snowflake with filled-in arms. The branches are slim, almost like they were sketched with a fine pen, and each tip has a small round dot that finishes it off. Very clean look when its stitched out.
Because its single-colour and open-work, it sits nicely on lightweight fabrics without pulling. Ive run the 2-inch version on thin cotton tees and it barely registers on the stabiliser underside. And the 5-inch hoop comes out to just over 8,000 stitches, so its still fast even at the large end. Best to use a topping on terry or fleece so those tiny satin lines dont sink into the pile.
One customer wanted a coordinating set for december table linens, they ordered the 3-inch size and ran it across a whole set of napkins in a pale silver thread. Looked really good on the white linen. Im not suprised that style works, the sparse open-work lets the fabric breathe between stitches.
Stitch it in ice blue on white, silver grey on navy, or even a deep forest green on cream. Skip heavy cutaway on wovens, a medium tearaway is enough for most applications at this density.
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.
- Winter-themed tote bags or reusable shopping bagsThe slim open arms scale down to 2 inches without losing definition on a canvas tote

- Holiday napkins and table linensLooks clean running in a row across a hemline on white or cream linen napkins
- Kids winter hats and beaniesRuns light on knit hats at low stitch count, wont distort the ribbing
- White cotton tee shirts as a seasonal accentA single 3-inch placement on the chest looks intentional not overdone

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.
