Witch Cat With Broom Embroidery Design, Halloween Machine Embroidery Pattern, Instant Download

The cat is standing up like a person, holding the broom handle with one front paw and one raised slightly as if mid-stride. Its a confident pose, weight shifted to one side, tail curled up and back behind the body. The oversized purple witch hat sits at a forward tilt on the head, wide brim dipping over one ear, and theres a small white square buckle on the hatband. The whole character reads instantly without needing any text around it.

Eyes are the focal point once you look past the hat. Two large round pupils with bright green crescent-moon highlights, the kind that glow. Theres a narrow white chest patch between the front paws which breaks up the all-black silhouette so the cat doesnt just read as a dark blob at smaller sizes. The grey broom has a black binding wrap at the neck and the bristle bundle fans out at the base.

Im quite proud of how this one holds at the small sizes, the 3 in mini still shows the hat buckle and the eye detail without turning muddy. I know thats not obvious from a flat image but the underlay density on that solid black silhouette is what keeps everything sitting flat. A customer stitched the mid 5-in build on black sweatshirt pocket and the green eyes are basically the only thing that reads at first glance, which is kinda perfect for halloween.

Dark fabric is where this one lives. Black, charcoal, deep purple or dark navy all work. Skip white or cream backgrounds because the black silhouette needs contrast to make the form read properly. Hoop with a brushed cutaway under cotton wovens, the dense satin on the hat and body needs a stable base. Add a thin layer of water-soluble topping if youre on jersey or polar fleece so the outline stitches sit cleanly on the surface. Avoid very open weaves or loosely knitted fabric because the long satin fills will gap.
