Bring gentle character to your stitching with this realistic basset hound head, shown with the breed’s unmistakable droopy ears, long muzzle and soft, heavy jowls. The white blaze down the forehead draws the eye straight to that expressive face, while touches of brown, tan, black, pink and even a hint of green give the portrait depth rather than a flat, cartoon finish. It is a strong choice for basset hound owners, kennel club gifts and anyone who wants a dog design that actually looks true to the breed.
With 8 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design suits fabrics that can carry detail well, such as denim jackets, canvas totes, quilted gilets and sturdy sweatshirt fleece. It also works beautifully on pet blankets, dog bed covers or the back of a grooming smock where the face has room to read clearly. Because the stitching is substantial, the finished portrait has a rich, filled look that helps the nose, eyes and long ears stand out cleanly.
