Here's a Kogin-zashi pattern illustration for New Year's cards, which I create every year. I'm delivering the 2026 Year of the Snake pattern ((^^)) If you start now, you'll be able to finish it with plenty of time to spare ((^^)) This work applies the Kogin-zashi technique, but it goes beyond the strict definition of Kogin-zashi. I might get scolded if I label it as "Kogin-zashi," but I thought, why not consider it an embroidery work with a design first and foremost? It's been well-received, so I've been creating it every year. This time, it's the 2026 Year of the Horse pattern. The pattern will be delivered as a set of 3 sheets: one A3 sheet of the whole design and two enlarged sheets. *Thread and fabric are not included. ★★★★★★★★★ Product Contents ★★★★★★★★★ 3 pattern sheets. A3 size, folded in two, will be sent. Overall print (1 sheet) and enlarged versions (2 sheets). *Thread and fabric are not included. ★★★★★★★★★ Stitch Count ★★★★★★★★★ Vertical: 214 rows Horizontal: 215 stitches ★★★★★★★★★ Frequently Asked Questions ★★★★★★★★★ I often get asked, "How many centimeters of fabric should I prepare?" You need to measure by the stitch count, not the size of the fabric itself. For example, as a standard fabric example, If there are 8 stitches per 1 cm in the horizontal direction, the finished size will be 203 / 8 = approximately 27cm. Similarly, if there are 6-7 rows per 1 cm in the vertical direction, it will be about 34cm. *Thread and fabric are not included. *This pattern is a work protected by copyright law.
