Hishi Seigaiha Sashiko Pattern PDF — Diamond Waves Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Hishi Seigaiha "diamond wave" design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Hishi (diamond) seigaiha (ocean wave) sharpens the old wave pattern's rounded scales into nested diamonds, four sharing a single bottom vertex and fanning upward into crisp cresting swells, carrying seigaiha's own wish for calm seas and lasting fortune.

Shown here in an indigo ombre, pale outer diamonds deepening to rich indigo at the core, though any high-contrast palette ripples just as well on a panel or runner.
