Skeleton Hand Rock Horns Embroidery Design, Gothic Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

Rock horns, skeletal version, single colour, 5 sizes. Where the plain rock on hand has fingers going straight up, this variant has the index and pinky curving outward, and the thumb angles to the side instead of tucking in. So the overall shape reads wider and more aggressive looking. Stitch count is 3,856 at 3 inches and goes up to 12,268 at 7 inches, density at 496, built in embroidery software. The shorter height, maxing at around 3.5 inches tall even at the largest size, makes this one well suited to cap work or sleeve cuffs where you need width more than height.

Press a heavy cutaway on stretch fabrics. Mapped this one in my professional tool with the bone segment detail specifically adjusted so the fine satin lines dont crowd each other at smaller sizes, which is why the 3-inch version still shows clean joint work. Dont skimp on the stabiliser for cap front placements, the curved brim can pull the hoop tension sideways and throw off the finger spacing if the backing isnt stiff enough.

My niece runs a craft account and she stitched this at 5 inches on a black beanie last winter, posted it, and apparently got several questions about where the design came from. That wide gesture shape photographs well because theres negative space in the middle of the hand form that gives the image room to breathe. Worth noting if you make items for resale online.

Pair it with the rock on or peace sign variants to build a matching set across caps, bags, and sleeves. Best on mid-to-dark fabrics. Add a lightweight tear-away under rigid items like structured caps rather than cutaway, the stitch density is low enough here that tearaway holds fine and doesnt add unnecessary bulk.
