Bring Viking spirit to your stitching with this elegant Astrid-inspired embroidery design, shown standing with her double-headed axe in hand and that unmistakable mix of grit and poise. The artwork picks up her blonde braided hair, blue eyes, grey shoulder armour, blue top and studded brown skirt, so fans will recognise the character straight away. It is a lovely choice for How to Train Your Dragon enthusiasts, especially for anyone who wants a female warrior design with personality rather than a flat silhouette.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it suits fabrics that benefit from detail without too much bulk, such as denim jackets, cotton sweatshirts, canvas totes and sturdy children’s clothing. The 12-thread-colour palette gives enough contrast to keep the axe, armour and fur-trimmed boots distinct, while still holding that clean cartoon look. Use it as a standout chest motif or let the larger versions take over the back of a jacket where the full pose can really show.
