Kawari Hanazashi Sashiko Pattern PDF — Flower Stitch Variation Template | Visible Mending | Water Soluble Printable | Instant Download

✦ Kawari Hanazashi (Flower Stitch Variation): Japanese-Inspired Sashiko Pattern ✦

A printable, true-scale PDF for kawari hanazashi, the circle-and-grid "flower stitch" variation, distinct from our curved fan-of-arcs Hanazashi and the counted Hanazashi Hitomezashi.

Kawari hanazashi forks shippo's overlapping circles: re-anchored through a straight grid, every crossing blooms into an eight-point flower. Flowers are a favorite sashiko motif for spring and renewal, stitched here in indigo circles with a gold grid (one color is lovely too).
