Abstract: Hitomezashi, a form of traditional Japanese embroidery, gives rise to intricate arrangements of axis-parallel unit-length stitches in the plane. Pete studied these patterns in the context of percolation theory, and the first two authors recently investigated additional structural properties of them. In this paper, we establish several optimization-style results on hitomezashi patterns and provide a complete classification of "long-stitch" hitomezashi patterns in which stitches have length greater than 1. We also study variants in which stitches can have directions not parallel to the coordinate axes.
