Matsukawa Sashiko Pattern - Pine Bark Diamond
The Matsukawa-bishi sashiko pattern is a geometric Japanese design commonly described as a pine bark diamond pattern. Its angular shapes combine diamond-like forms into a distinctive repeating arrangement.
The pattern offers more visual complexity than a basic Hishi diamond grid. Straight and diagonal lines meet to create recognizable geometric units that repeat across the fabric.
Matsukawa-bishi is a useful choice for stitchers looking for a more detailed traditional-style pattern. It can be used for sashiko embroidery, quilting, clothing decoration, visible mending and textile crafts.
Print the pattern and transfer the lines onto your fabric as a stitching guide. Repeat adjoining sections when covering a larger area.
