A split monogram is a large initial with a band cut through the middle for a name. The split monogram maker cuts the band out for real (no white box), so these files import into Cricut Design Space as two clean halves. The zip contains the full alphabet in Playfair Display with the band lines and no name, so you can add your own name with the Text tool in Design Space, plus the samples below which show the band with a name in Montserrat.

The zip holds every sample on this page as a separate SVG. It also contains the full A to Z set in Playfair Display (26 files). Every file is paths only, 6 by 6 inches, with the letters, frame and text on separate layers; resize it in your cutting software or see how to resize an SVG.

What you will cut (measured from the files)
We measured every SVG in this pack. “Cut lines” counts the closed outlines the blade follows, including the inside of letters such as A and O; more cut lines means more weeding. Cut length is the total distance the blade travels with the file resized to 4 inches wide, and it scales with size: at 8 inches it doubles. In the A to Z set the shortest cut is J (14.5 in) and the longest is M (35.0 in), an average of 28.5 inches per letter; cutting all 26 at 4 inches is about 62 feet of blade travel.
| File | Cut lines | Cut length at 4 in | Of which frame |
|---|---|---|---|
| M in playfair-display | 16 | 42.2 in | no frame |
| B in abril-fatface | 16 | 39.9 in | no frame |
| H in montserrat | 19 | 45.4 in | no frame |
| W in bodoni-moda | 16 | 39.0 in | no frame |
| S in bungee | 9 | 35.0 in | no frame |
| K in cinzel | 11 | 38.7 in | no frame |
| A to Z set (26 files) | 4 to 7 | 14.5 to 35.0 in | no frame |
The busiest file here is split-monogram-h-montserrat, with 19 separate cut lines, 16 of them in the name and date text. Allow extra weeding time for designs like that, and cut them larger if your material tears.
Adding a name to the split letters
The 26 letters in the zip have the band cut out and left empty, so each one arrives as two separate halves. To add a name in Cricut Design Space, upload the letter, add the name with the Text tool, choose a font and size it so the text sits inside the band with a small gap above and below. If the name font is a script, select the text and Weld it so the joined letters cut as one piece. Then select the two halves and the name together and Attach them so they cut in the right positions.
The band is a fixed share of the letter height, so a long name has to be set smaller to fit, and small text is the first thing to tear when weeding. For a long name, make the letter larger or use a condensed text font such as Bebas Neue, and do a test cut of the name on its own. Letters with a strong diagonal (A, V, W, X, Y) give the band less room at the ends than round letters such as O and C, so test long names on those first.
For heat-transfer vinyl, mirror the whole attached group before cutting, not just the letter, or the name will read backwards.
Frequently asked questions
How do I put a name in a split monogram SVG?
Upload the letter, add the name with the Text tool sized to fit inside the empty band, weld the name if it is a script, then attach the name and both halves so they cut together.
Why does the split letter come in two pieces?
The band was subtracted from the letter, which leaves a top half and a bottom half. That is deliberate: there is no white rectangle to weed or slice.
Make your own
These are samples with fixed initials. To make the same design with your own letters, colours and size, open the split monogram maker; it produces the same file format. For letter order and sizing see the etiquette guide and the size chart.
