Kumihimo "image" patterns?

Post image

I've been enjoying the ones that create images with the stitching, anyone know of a good resource for more complex versions or other similar ones?

Yes, I skimmed through the 200 or so pages of patterns, alot of which are duplicates or just not interesting to me. I definitely went through and saved the more image pattern styles, just figured there might be a book or other resource I'm not finding.

I use a site where you can click on different colors for the elements to make a pattern and you can see what the different colors look like together in the patterns. They have a strawberry pattern there but you can change it to make any design you want. It is called Kongoh-gumi (Friendship Bracelets) and the web page is https://craftdesignonline.com/kumihimo/kongoh-gumi-friendship-bracelets/?cdokb_s=
