Sashiko Sampler - White

DARUMA's classic Sashiko Samplers are easy to make by simply stitching according to the printed pattern. This product has been a DARUMA staple for many years and was updated in 2021 with even better materials, designs, and a guide in English on how to get started. From traditional patterns to one-stitch patterns, the sashiko samplers make the best use of sashiko threads.

Sashiko Samplers are perfect as dish towels, napkins, or as an outer wrapping for homemade gifts. Each pattern is printed on durable kitchen cloth fabric (sarashi) that can be washed off after finishing. In other words, do not wash or steam until you finish stitching or the pattern will be lost!

Single-Stitch Patterns
Styles 1101–1164: Single-Stitch Sashiko is a technique in which vertical, horizontal, and diagonal stitches are created in sequence at regular intervals. The pattern emerges as you stitch, you'll forget about time and enjoy the warmth of the handiwork. Traditional and original pattern designs are available.

*Most single-stitch samplers require between 28.5–122.5 yards/26–112 meters.
