I found it in The Embroidery Stitch Bible.
My Swedish embroidery books describe the stitch rather than name it: Trädning genom två rader efterstygn or Snärjning av dubbla rader efterstygn.
Mattia has supplied the French name: double point de devant entrelacé ou double point de mirliton
You simply make two rows of parallel Running Stitches
On Aida it looks like this:
Homework:
Play around with different threads.
Make more columns of Running Stitches, or make them closer or further apart.
Lace the Running Stitches in creative ways.
Have fun!

So many variations with this stitch. It is often overlooked because it is based on running stitch.
you are sharing lots of stitches Queenie such fun to see what you are creating. Look the lap top to the quilting group and so mnay compliments on the Tokyo quilts
Nice stitch. running stitches didn't fail to add beauty to the embroidery. Though it is simple it gives a unique look.
Nice one. I like the return stitching.
You are right, it is an ignored stitch, but has potential to create fantastic designs.
Good to hear they enjoyed the quilts.
I think it can be used in many ways.
I will play with it and see how different it can look.
Looking forward to this stitch. last time I worked running stitch sampler for TAST didn't work this. this would be good opportunity to do so.
I am always looking forward to seeing what you will do with the stitches.
I like that stitch, versatile, very.
There's so many possibilities.
I hope to play around with many versatile possibilities!
I love how this looks!
Such a nice stitch, I learned it when I was about 8 years. I hope to have time to experiment with this stitch.
I am planning to play around with this stitch!
I don't think I had got any further than to the simple Running Stitch when I was that age. I will take my revenge now!
I found your blog through Hand Stitched Treasures and I love it. I am enjoying looking through your stitch lessons.
Bonjour, j'ai été absente, je mets à jour le nom des points en français,
- 7 - gate st. : point de porte (impossible de trouver des informations, je continue mes recherches)
- 8 - heavy chain st. : point de chainette serré ou pt de chainette cordé
- 9 - interlaced running st. : double point de devant entrelacé ou double point de mirliton

I remember the stitch from an earlier TAST. I'll play with the stitch today.
I hope you will enjoy the lessons and maybe try a few of the stitches yourself.
Thank you for always supplying me with the translations. I will update when I have more time - right now very busy...
Oh, I didn't know it was a TAST stitch. I don't think I did it in my TAST course. Or am I getting so forgetful...
