Thank you for watching!
In this video, I tried my best to explain the details with my limited English but I'm not very confident...I think you don't have to follow specific method, as long as what you made serves your purpose. For example, you don't have to fold in the raw edges if it becomes too thick. In that case, you can wrap around the edges with a whip stitch or something so that they don't fray easily.
Also, I realised that I forgot to mention about needles in the section of 'thread and needle'.
Here are some information about tools and materials.
Material: Usually, cotton (something absorbent)
Size and thickness: The common size is about the size of A4 or US letter paper but any size is fine. be too thick. Usually, two or three layers of fabric. Thick Zokins are hard to dry completely and unhygienic.
Thread: Cotton Sashiko thread, hand-sewing thread or embroidery thread (2-3 strands). If you're using a sewing machine, sewing machine thread is fine. However, it's much thinner than hand-sewing thread, so it may snap when you squeeze the zokin, if you use it for hand-sewing.
Needle: Use a needle best for your material. As I mentioned in the video, test your material with your needle. It's all about the combination. If your material is tightly woven, it'll be hard to stitch with a thick needle. If you are using a thick thread, you'll need to have a needle with an eye large enough to hold the thread.
Here's the link to the text book I found! It's in Japanese but you can see the visual patterns. It was common to learn a running stitch by making Zokin in Japan. Many old sewing books have the section of ' Zokin Sashi'.

Excellent details for reproducing these steps + starting and stopping with no knot are shown! Many thanks! Great camera work, along with the subtitles in American English, are much appreciated! I also thank you for having clean hands and fingernails for all of your videos! It all adds up to a professional video! Thanks for your research and ability to share with us!!!

At the moment I’m making zonkins from some old linen pillowcases I inherited from my mum in law. They must be 50 years old, but although the fabric is thin it’s very soft and absorbent. I’m making them as Christmas gifts for my dear friend. Each stitch has love in it! 😊

I am from South Africa and am Afrikaans speaking. In our culture we also use cleaning cloths for many different purposes. We have a word for such cloths that is used so commonly that people of other South African languages (we have 12 official languages) also often use this word. The word is "lappie". Means piece of material used for cleaning.

@@thegreenwrapper~ It depends on the material content of the fabric. Cotton flannel is absorbent, yet the fibers of polyester flannel are not; so I would choose cotton flannel or other natural fabrics, in this case. Otherwise, I love upcycling gauze & old fabrics, as well. Thanks for your skillful Zokin stitching demonstration, btw. ~ I enjoyed your video. ❤

Now I know what to do with some old clothes! I wanted to transform them into cleaning rags, but my partner gets sad anytime he sees them (because his favourite shirts are worn out and he can no longer wear them...). If I embroider them with those beautiful designs, he won't be able to complain! 😄 Thank you for linking that sewing book, it was lovely to look at the Home Economics projects and patterns. Please, do link other books you find on the subject! And thank you for taking the time to teach us all.❤

Hi! I love all of your videos. I made sashiko coasters and they were a success. Would it be possible for you to demonstrate how to do you handsew mitred corners for furoshiki since sarashi cloth isn't easily accessible in my country? This is just a suggestion ofc. The way you demonstrate is so easy to follow!

I always appreciate all the helpful hints you show every time you do a project because it helps "burn'' it into my brain. One of the things I sometimes struggle with is the direction of sewing some of the more intricate patterns, like the tortoise shell which I am working on now. I know it is about saving thread but it seems that oftentimes it leaves large loops on the back. Should I be stitching/passing them between the two layers?
@thegreenwrapper
@thegreenwrapper Месяц назад
All the Kikkou (tortoise shell) patterns are tricky and I always struggle as well😅 Some of them don’t seem to have any shortcuts. If it’s not too hard to run the thread between the layers, maybe that’s the easiest way? Some books suggest to stitch one hexagon at a time and cut thread often (which I’ve done once to stitch on a furoshiki and took forever). Have you watched this one? I tried to figure out different ways of stitching some Kikkou pattern⬇️ How do you stitch these Kikkou (hexagon) patterns with Sashiko?

@thegreenwrapper День назад
Hi😊 Gauze is very common in Japan and I see them often here in Australia. It seems to be called muslin as well but some muslin are not quite the same as gauze. However, it’s not particularly common to use gauze for Zokin and you can use other absorbent materials👍
