Uroko Sashiko Pattern - Fish Scales

The Uroko sashiko pattern is a repeating geometric design associated with fish scales. The pattern is commonly built from repeating triangular forms that create a scale-like appearance when arranged together.
Its simple geometry produces a bold pattern while still being relatively easy to follow. The repeated diagonal lines also provide useful practice for maintaining even sashiko stitches at different angles.
Uroko can be used as an all-over design or as a smaller decorative section within a larger project. It works well for sashiko embroidery, quilting, visible mending, patchwork and fabric decoration.
Use the printable template to transfer the repeating pattern onto fabric. The design can be extended in multiple directions for larger stitching projects.
