Kaki no Hana Sashiko Pattern PDF — Persimmon Flower Hitomezashi Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Kaki no Hana "persimmon flower" hitomezashi design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Kaki no hana means persimmon flower, picturing the small spring bloom that promises the fruit; it's one of the best-loved one-stitch hitomezashi patterns, a classic of the hana-fukin cloths stitched at home for generations.

Its dense counted grid genuinely strengthens worn cloth, so it's a natural for visible mending on denim knees, elbows, or tote corners, not just a decorative patch. Shown in two soft persimmon-red tones, or stitch it white on indigo or any pair you love.

WHAT YOU GET (instant download):

DETAILS:

• Skill level: Beginner, straight running stitches on a counted grid, a great first hitomezashi

• You'll need: cotton or linen, sashiko thread (persimmon-red on natural shown, or any high-contrast pair, including classic white on indigo), a water-soluble stabilizer sheet or a removable fabric marker, and a ruler for the 5 mm grid

HOW IT WORKS:
