TAST stands for Take A Stitch Tuesday which is an online course of stitches on Sharon Boggon's Pintangle. Join in and learn. If you want to do it from scratch, there will be a rerun starting next year. Read more about it here.
As I have explained before, I want all the TAST stitches in one (private) collection and will give them the chronological number in the order I learn them. So now it is time for Whipped Chain Stitch, Version 2, which I will call TAST #146.
By whipping the chain on both sides you get a nice 'knitted' pattern. Or one could take it for the Magic Chain Stitch. On the reference chart:

I think I like this version better. It looks like a braid.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very pretty, but could be mistaken for the Magic Chain stitch.
DeleteLooks like a braid, ever so neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteNeat and tidy, you said it!
DeleteYou're keeping up with the chart, I see!
ReplyDeleteYes, have to catch up!
DeleteThis is a lovely braid.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is lovely, and easy to stitch, too.
DeleteIt makes a pretty stitch and you're right, it does look like knitting
ReplyDeleteIt resembles Magic Chain but here you can use a much heavier or knobblier thread for the whipping.
DeleteIt does look similar to the magic chain stitch, doesn't it? I love your various color combinations.
ReplyDeleteThe key point is that it is so much easier than the tangly, tricky Magic Chain!
DeleteI like this stitch, it's much easier than the magic chain and has almost the same look.
ReplyDeleteYou said it - MUCH easier.
