Nijū Kagome Sashiko Pattern PDF — Double Basket-Weave Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Nijū Kagome "double basket-weave" design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Nijū kagome doubles the lines of kagome, the classic woven bamboo-basket lattice, old enough to have served as a clan crest, and carries a well-loved folk belief that its hexagon wards off harm.

Three families of lines weave genuinely over and under at every crossing, so it reads as true basketwork, worth the extra care on a project where that texture will show, a panel or a bag front.
