Kasane Masu Sashiko Pattern PDF — Stacked Measuring Boxes Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Kasane Masu "stacked measuring box" design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Kasane Masu takes its name from masu, the wooden rice-measuring box, layered with kasane, stacked; masu shares its sound with the word for "to increase," the whole reason a grain measure became a wish for growth.

Work it in two colors, indigo and warm gold, for the signature stacked look, or keep it classic in one; its sibling Tate Mimasu nests three squares on point if you'd like the pair.
