A Variety of Tortoiseshell Patterns

Tortoiseshell patterns are symbolic of longevity and can be seen in a number of classic sashiko designs. A hexagonal

shape with a single stitch “horn” forms the Tsuno-Kikkō motif, combining two hexagons of varying size becomes

the Kasane-Kikko, and surrounding three small hexagons with a triangle results in the Musubi-Kikkō design.
