Valentine Heart Gnome Girl Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The hat is what you see first and its enormous. A tall curving gnome hat patterned wall to wall with red hearts on a pink ground, with lavender sections breaking it up so its not all one flat blob of pink. The tip curls over and there are three or four floating hearts scattered around the sides of the hat like theyre drifting off. Below the hat rim sits a round peachy nose and then the beard starts, a thick plaited white braid that comes down and splits into two sections. No face visible except the nose. Thats the classic gnome thing and I really like how it concentrates all the cuteness into the hat and beard.

Down at the bottom, small red ribbon bows sit on each foot, tied like little shoelaces. Kinda just the right amount of detail without overcrowding the lower half. The whole figure reads as round and compact, which makes it sit nicely on a chest pocket or the front of a kids bag without needing alot of space. Eight colours total: blush, hot pink, lavender, red, white, skin, peach-tan for the nose, and black for the outlines.

I first made this for a girls boutique owner last valentines day who wanted something that would work on toddler tees, twirl skirts and gift bags at once. She came back in march asking for more files for her easter range, which was really nice to hear. I get messages from boutique owners and school mums around this time asking if the hearts stitch cleanly on the small 3.17-inch size and yes they do. my standard software digitised the hat pattern with a textured tatami fill so the heart shapes sit inside the weave properly.

Five sizes from 3.17 inches to 6.78 inches. Pop the smallest on a onesie pocket. Run the big one on a fleece blanket corner or a girls hoodie back. Use a cutaway stabiliser for any of the knit fabrics, the dense hat fill needs it. On woven cotton a firm tearaway lifts cleanly. Keep your bobbin tension even through the hat section, thats where most of the thread volume lives.
