Kogin is a type of embroidery resembling Norwegian counted thread or darning embroidery. Geometric patterns are created by covering areas of fabric with horizontal stitches, counting threads in loosely woven fabric, and building up the pattern row by row.

NOTE! The included instructions are in Japanese. They largely consist of illustrations, but if you have never sewn before, it might be a bit difficult to interpret them. Many smartphones have translators that you can use by taking a picture of the text, so that's one way to make the instructions easier to interpret.
