A skeleton hand doing the OK sign, thumb and index touching in a circle, the other three fingers spread up. The bones are drawn cleanly with the knuckle joints visible as small rounded segments and the metacarpal bones running down into the wrist. Its not grotesque or gory, its that kinda dark-funny style that works for Halloween and spooky aesthetics generally. Two colours: white or cream for the bone fill and a darker shade for the outline and joint details.
Five hoops, 3 inches wide at 3,189 stitches, growing to 7 inches at 8,706. Density of 223 is on the lighter side, the design doesnt have thick fill masses, its mostly satin columns on the finger bones. Backing with a soft cutaway stabiliser is enough here because the stitch count is low. professional digitising tools kept the underlay minimal which means the design runs fast and doesnt over-saturate light fabrics. A customer grabbed this for a halloween party shirt last october and ran the 5-inch onto a black tee in bone-white thread and it was spot-on.
Pick black fabric for maximum spook. Or try dark navy, forest green, or even burgundy with white thread. Stitch the small 4-in on a cap, the 6 inch on a tee front or back. Use a film topping on fleece or terry so the satin stays raised and clean. Add to a patch if you want something removable for a costume accessory.

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.
