✦ About This Book – Gorgeous Dog Embroidery Patterns

犬好きさんに贈る とっておきの犬の刺繍

This beautifully illustrated embroidery book brings dog embroidery patterns to life through the art of silk shading — a needle painting technique that renders fur, expression, and shadow with remarkable realism using a single strand of thread. Authored by Yonei Mihoyo, the book captures beloved dog breeds across four distinct chapters, each exploring a different artistic angle from lifelike portraits to whimsical costumed characters.

✦ What’s Inside – 30+ Dog Embroidery Patterns Across 4 Chapters

  • 🐾 Chapter 1 – Drawing Expressions: Silk shading portraits of Papillon, Jack Russell Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Chihuahua
  • 🌂 Chapter 2 – Drawing Daily Life: Toy Poodle in rain, Chihuahua hiding in a blanket, Pomeranians in a bag, French Bulldog in a stroller, Golden Retriever with a slipper, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel at Christmas, Shiba Inu with sweet potato, Border Terrier among flowers & more
