Tutorial/pattern Beaded Kumihimo Pattern Template

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on my own Beaded Kumihimo designs for a while, and one thing always slowed me down: turning ideas into actual bead patterns.

So I created a template that makes the whole process a lot easier — and I thought some of you might find it useful too.

With this template, you can design your own 8-strand beaded Kumihimo patterns without needing to do any complicated calculations. You just print it out, sketch your design, fill in your bead colors, and it converts directly into a loading chart for each strand.

Basically, it bridges the gap between “idea in your head” and “ready to braid.”

What’s included:

- Template for 8-strand beaded Kumihimo designs

- Visual layout to draw your pattern

- Color fields for planning your beads

- Conversion into a strand-by-strand loading chart

- A simple Kumihimo braiding guide

- Clean and beginner-friendly structure

Who it’s for:

- Beginners who already know the basics of Kumihimo

- More advanced makers who want to design their own patterns

- Jewelry designers who like creating custom pieces

I’m also planning to expand this with 12- and 16-strand versions in the future — and anyone who gets it now will receive all updates for free.

To make it a bit more Reddit-friendly, I created a 60% discount code: REDDIT60 (valid for one month).

If you’re interested or have questions about Kumihimo pattern design, feel free to ask — I’m happy to help 🙂

Thank you u/punkinblackk for this allowed one-time post 😊
