The story behind this design
Gye Nyame is built from two mirrored spirals meeting at a stem, a shape that reads as both a knot and a flourish. Embroidery suits it because the whole symbol is one continuous line, which can be stitched without a break. Worked in a pale thread on black denim, the spiral stands out at the distance a cap is actually seen from.
