The ghost itself is wide and rounded, not the classic pointed sheet shape but more of a chunky floating figure with a wavy rippled hem at the bottom. The face is minimal, two dark oval eyes and a small open mouth, surprised rather than scary. A grey tonal shadow sits underneath. On either side, two small bat silhouettes float outward. Four-pointed sparkle stars sit near the top corners. Four colours total: white for the main shape, grey for the shadow, black for the bats and eyes, with a darker outline ring around the outer edge.
Density is 908, which is high for a design this size, and it means the satin fill on the white areas holds its shape even on looser weaves. Four sizes available, the smallest at 1.69 inches wide and the largest at 3.71 inches wide. Stitch count ranges from 6,694 to 18,508. These are compact sizes by design, they work better as chest pocket patches, sleeve accents, or repeat rows on a border rather than large centrepiece designs. Press a firm cutaway before you hoop, the high density needs stable backing or the white satin columns distort at the wavy hem edge. Dont rush it, especially on knit.
My customers who do kids halloween clothing order this one more than almost anything else in this theme range. A customer who makes custom halloween babygrows told me last year she stitches the small 1.69-inch version on the chest panel of every order in october and it never fails. The 4-colour thread setup means 4 swaps per run, not bad for how detailed the result looks when its done. Youre gonna love how clean the white fill comes out on a dark orange tee.
Use white thread on any colour fabric, the contrast is what makes it readable. Orange, black, or purple fabric all work well for kids halloween gear. Layer a firm stabiliser on cotton jersey, the dense fill section will pucker on unstabilised knit. Try the 3-inch size on a sweatshirt sleeve for a repeating scatter effect, Im telling you it looks great.

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.
