Kogin embroidery is a type of sashiko embroidery passed down in the Tsugaru region. Traditional patterns (modoko) can be arranged in a continuous pattern, and combining them with other patterns creates unique designs. This book is a collection of kogin embroidery patterns recommended for those who want to create works with their favorite patterns or who want to embroider a wider variety of patterns. To make it easy to visualize the finished product, it includes color photographs of the embroidery on fabric and patterns represented by thick lines in a grid. Based on basic kogin embroidery patterns such as Kacharazu, Uroko, and Tekona, it introduces many ways to further enjoy traditional patterns, such as surrounding them with simple borders, arranging small modoko like frames, and overlapping parts of modoko. Includes popular original patterns by the author.
