Karam: Arabic Coffee Dallah with Arabic Calligraphy

The Arabic word كرم (karam) means generosity: the welcome every guest is met with. A brass dallah pours Arabic coffee into a small finjan, its steam curling into an arabesque, carved like a linocut, with the word below in classic Naskh calligraphy. Three threads; the light parts are the hoodie itself. The smallest size is the word alone, for the left chest, so one hoodie can carry the word on the front and the whole piece on the back.

• 3 sizes included: 157 × 327 mm (36 × 54 cm jacket-back frame), 143 × 294 mm (8 × 12 in hoop) and 60 × 69 mm (4 × 4 in hoop). Each size is digitized at its own size, not scaled.
• 3 thread colours, with Madeira Polyneon codes and the colour order on each size's production sheet.
• Light fabric: made for cream, bone, white and sand hoodies and sweatshirts (the gold dallah shows best on cream and white). The light parts of the design are the fabric itself, so skip black and dark colours.

Best on fleece hoodies and heavy sweatshirts, with a medium cut-away stabilizer and a water-soluble topping on fleece. The back size needs a jacket-back frame (about 36 × 54 cm); the 8 × 12 size fits home machines with an 8 × 12 in hoop; the chest word fits a 4 × 4 in hoop.
