Bring playful cartoon attitude to a sweatshirt, pyjama top or book bag with this dabbing squid character design. The large rounded head, long nose and bulging eyes make the pose instantly readable, while the pink pupils and brown shirt add just enough contrast to stop the turquoise body feeling flat. It suits children’s makes, TV-series fans and anyone who wants a cheeky character motif that feels light-hearted rather than overly busy.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on everyday fabrics where you want colour and shape without a heavy, rigid finish. The five-thread palette keeps the look clear and graphic, which works especially well on cotton tees, hoodies, canvas totes and quilted playroom accessories. It has enough presence to stand alone on the front of a top, but it also works neatly as a fun panel on a backpack pocket or the back of a denim jacket.
