  2. Bring the needle up through the fabric from the back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Push the needle down a short distance away to create your first stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Continue this pattern\u2014up, down, up, down\u2014keeping your stitches evenly spaced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Try to keep the stitch length and the gaps between stitches consistent. That\u2019s the secret to a polished sashiko look!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tip: You can load several stitches onto your needle before pulling the thread through to keep things flowing smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
