Krassin tassut pattern

A shared moment of sowing seeds with a toddler revealed how quickly nasturtium begins to grow — and how its shapes start to come alive in the imagination. The leaves soon turned into visual motifs, first captured in sketches and later developed into a pattern.

The inspiration & name for the Krassin tassut pattern ("Nasturtium paws") came from the round leaves of the nasturtium plant, whose shape and arrangement resemble little paw prints. The plant’s first leaves often appear in pairs, and in a planting box, their rhythm formed a playful trail of prints, skipping this way and that.

Although the design is representational and clearly inspired by plant forms, the Krassin tassut pattern works beautifully in a wide range of color combinations. Its airy and balanced rhythm makes it suitable both as a stand-alone design and as a calming counterpart to more complex patterns.

The Krassin tassut pattern is part of the Kevään aarteet (Spring Treasures) pattern family, along with the title design Kevään aarteet and Kevätkukkia (Spring Flowers). The entire pattern family can be found in the pattern library of Patternsfrom Agency, and the designs are available for international licensing and a variety of applications.
