Cute, preppy Santa portrait rendered as a realistic latch-hook rug / tufted yarn artwork. Front-facing, smiling baby-friendly Santa with rosy cheeks and a soft, round face, wearing a small classic Santa hat with a preppy color accent (navy trim). Make the image read like thick looped yarn — visible looped tufts, chunky pile texture, soft shadows between loops, clear yarn strand definition and slightly varied pile height for realism. Color blocking typical of latch-hook patterns (distinct clusters of color), but with gentle shading achieved by nearby yarn colors rather than smooth gradients. Balanced, centered composition on a transparent background, with clean crisp edges for printing on clothing. High detail on yarn texture (individual loops visible), no flat vector look — keep tactile, plush, handcrafted appearance. Include subtle faux embroidery stitch accents (a few satin-stitch style highlights) around hat brim and pom-pom to read well at small print sizes. Photorealistic textile art style with emphasis on tactile fiber qualities, ultra-detailed loop structure showing authentic latch-hook technique, soft diffused lighting highlighting the plush pile texture, traditional craft aesthetic with modern preppy color coordination, rich color saturation in classic holiday hues enhanced by navy blue preppy accents, dimensional rendering that captures the physical depth of tufted loops, friendly approachable character design perfect for children's apparel, meticulous attention to yarn strand separation and individual fiber definition, cozy handmade charm with professional finish quality.
