This unicorn is front-facing, kinda like a badge or crest rather than a full body pose. The horn spirals straight up with tiny hearts floating along it, and theres a big open heart at the base where the chin would be. The scroll work on either side curls outward in that ornate style you see on lace embroidery, which gives it more character than your typical unicorn design.
4 colours in total, red for the horn stripe and floating hearts, black for the outlines and ear tips, pink for the body fill, and white for those scroll accent pieces. 3 colour changes to manage. Smallest size is 2.17 inches wide with 5,924 stitches, largest stretches to 4.64 inches wide and 13,580 stitches. The satin fills on the horn and ear sections stitch up real smooth.
My niece is obsessed with unicorns and I made this one partly with her in mind. She wanted hearts on everything that valentines season, so I added the floating hearts along the horn. Ping me if youd like a version without the hearts and I can check what I have in the files.
Best on plain fabrics where the 4 colours can actually read clearly. White, cream, pale pink, and light lavender cotton all work well. Use cutaway stabiliser since theres alot of directional fill in the body sections and you dont want any puckering. Skip stretchy jersey for the smaller sizes.
Comes in 5 sizes from 2.17 to 4.64 inches wide so it fits nicely on a shirt chest, a bag panel, or a kids backpack patch.

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.
