Kasuti Patterns 1

Gavanti and Muragi Patterns

These Kasuti patterns use Gavanti and Muragi stitches and can be printed onto an A4 size page for practice. Click on each image to see an enlarged version.

The patterns are in black and red, each color denoting a single continuous stitch flow. This might be helpful to some. More patterns will be added as I acquire and prepare them.

    That’s so lovely. I was not able to find this particular buti which my mother taught me. I am now getting time to carry forward the heirloom. But when tried my buti is not coming the same behind. Something is going wrong. Help please!

      Is this a picture of your work on Kasuti? If so, can you please upload it again- this time a smaller file? I had to remove it since it was too big.

      Dear Carmen,
      Thanks for writing. If I have understood you right, you want to send me samples of embroidery? To do this, you can upload the embroideries by using the function right below the comment box. I will then be able to tell you what embroidery it is. I hope this helps. Pardon me if I have not understood you properly.
      Best wishes.
