This one came out of a knitting circle my mum sits in. They wanted a logo patch for their tote bags last spring, and I ended up digitising a basket I sketched on a napkin during their meet. The basket weave was the tricky part, I rebuilt the cross-hatch direction 3 times before the colour shifts read right. Glad I stuck with it.
You get nine sizes from from a 3.5 to a 7.5 inches wide, with stitch counts running 32,253 up to 90,399 on the largest hoop. The full design uses seven yarn-ball colours plus the basket tan and a deeper brown for the woven shadow. Density sits around 1869 spi because the woven texture needs that to read properly on midweight cotton, dont try to cheap out and lower it. The yarn balls have a soft directional fill so they look round, not flat.
Use a mid-weight cutaway stabiliser. Hoop tight. Skip topping when youre stitching on a textured weave like terry. Pair it with a fresh 75/11 embroidery needle and run the colour order as given so the woven basket seats under balls yarn the.
Id one customer use the 4-in centre on a project bag flap and another use the 7 inch on a centre quilt block for a yarn shop banner. Both looked sharp. The knitting needles stitch in last as a topstitch detail so you can trim cleanly around them. Email a quick note if your machine cant read the format and Ill convert it for you.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Knitting project bag flapKnitting-circle project bag flaps were the original use; my mums Tuesday-night group asked for a logo patch and this design grew from a napkin sketch.
- Yarn shop tote panelYarn-shop staff tote-bag panel for a vendor table at a fibre festival, heavy cutaway holds the basket weave through customer browsing.
- Quilt centre blockCotton quilt-block centre patch for a knitter-sampler bedspread; floats with cutaway and frames neat into patchwork borders.
- Cushion cover frontReads as homey rather than crafty-cliche, which a yarn-bombing collective told me when they ordered six cushion fronts for their lounge.
- Apron bib panelDenim apron bib for a fibre-shop staff uniform, the bobbin needs a thicker thread to anchor the dense basket weave properly.
- Wall hanging centreWall-hanging panel for a craft-room corner mounted on a dowel; the trailing yarn curls visually pull the eye downward.
- Sweatshirt left chestLeft-chest mark on a knitting-club sweatshirt, the smaller version fits within standard chest placement without overcrowding.

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.
