Smiling Goat Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Heres a smiling goat portrait i drew up for the small farm crowd, and honestly its alot more characterful then a typical livestock design. Front facing head, curved brown horns sweeping back, pink lined ears pricked forward, and the closed mouth grin makes him look like hes plotting something.

Stitched in 8 colours, the cream and oatmeal coat carries the bulk of the body and the warm tan rings on the horns sit on top of a base brown layer. Pink ears, deep navy blue eyes with a tiny white catch light, and faint olive shading in the lower jaw and beard. Theres a soft black outline holding the whole face together so the colour blocks dont float.

I been getting orders for this one from goat moms most weeks, alot of small holders running 2 or 3 dairy goats out the back. Last november one customer ordered 6 hoodies for a county fair team. People keep telling me the realistic look beats the cartoon goats every time.

9 sizes range from 3.5 inch up to roughly 7.5 inch, stitch count climbs 19,191 at the small end up to 50,443 on the largest hoop. The design has fine directional stitches across the muzzle so use a slow speed there, the satin segments on the horn rings need clean edges.

Best fabrics are mid weight cotton tee, denim work shirt, canvas tote, and brushed fleece. Skip thin jersey at the largest size, the dense colour blocks will pull. Hoop with a no show cutaway for stretch, tearaway for woven, and a water soluble topping helps the cream face shading stay smooth on textured fabric. Message me within a day if any size opens funny and ill cut a fresh export.
