Honestly this hamster is kinda ridiculous and thats exactly why people love it. The thing is all chubby face and winter coat energy, those big round cheeks practically bursting, tiny scarf or hat on, looking very pleased with itself in the cold. Its the kind of design that makes you snort a little when you first see it.
Ten colours is a bunch for any design and this one uses em all across the fur gradient and the accessories. The directional stitching on the fur is what gives it that actual texture, not just a flat coloured blob but something that looks genuinely fluffy when its done. I had a customer this winter who was gona give it as a gift and ended up keeping the finished piece for herself, which happens more often than youd think with this one.
Five sizes, from 3.5 inches wide 7.5 in upper. The stitch count hits 40,170 at full size so its a real project, not a quick run. Satin columns on the outlines keep everything tight and the density at 1167 means you really do need a cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway, especially on knit fabrics.
Best on fleece, wool blend or heavy cotton. Avoid super stretchy jersey without a proper tearaway topping to keep the face features sharp. Hoop snugly, the cheek fills need good tension to sit right. Reach out if the file gives you any trouble and Ill have a look at it.

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.
