Kawari Zenizashi Sashiko Pattern PDF — Coin Stitch Variation Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Kawari Zenizashi "coin stitch" design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Zenizashi means coin stitch, named for zeni, the old coins that carried a small square hole through the center; here that hole becomes a stitched square set at the center of alternating diamonds along a diagonal lattice.

Try it in two colors, gold coins strung on a white or indigo lattice, on a set of coasters or a mending patch where the small repeat reads clearly.
