It's called Woven Zig-zag Chain and is the #75 TAST stitch. Sharon at Pintangle is helping us build a real stitch library! It is never too late to join in the fun and learn a new stitch.

I used my cq stensils to mark the heart and the star. The design is not advanced but the stencils make the marking work so easy. I can recommend them warmly.
So this is what I made, entirely in DMC Perle 5. The only odd stitch is the Colonial Knot in the centre.

Aren't you creative!
There's a lot of work in this heart! I like it.
This is really pretty. The colours work well together.
In this case, not really, but the stitch is so attractive in itself a simple pattern was the best I thought.
Well, once you have made the chain stitches, the actual weaving is meditative and relaxing, so it doesn't feel like work.
Thank you ,Lilian. I once saw red and aqua as an odd combination, then realised the contrast is attractive.
The stitch makes a nice decorative outline.
Yes, isn't it nice for a bold outline?
It is lovely sampler..

Pretty and colorful!!!!
so agree Queenie Sharon`s stencils are a God send and you have certainly created something great with them
Thank you, Lakshmi
It was fun to make
Thanks, Latha
This stitch has a lot of structure and resembles crochet, don't you think?
What I really like is that it is so easy to make a mirrored image; a curve that looks exactly the same in the opposite direction, too. The clear plastic makes it easy to see how to do this. Yes, a God send!
A wonderful simple design shows off the stitches perfectly.
I nearly missed your beautiful design, you have a good eye for making stitches into patterns!
Thank you, I think this is a great stitch for a bold line.
You are so kind. I love the stitch and also think the colour combination was successful in this case.
