Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 103: Triple Palestrina Stitch

Like last week, we are today looking at a variation of a well-known stitch, Palestrina Stitch. Back in 2012 I took part in TAST, hosted by Sharon Boggon of Pintangle, and used the Palestrina Stitch for this design. Very fancy, don't you think?

I found today's version on Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials, an excellent source of embroidery stitches. As there are three knots on this version the stitch is called Triple Palestrina Stitch.
Updated: In French it is called Triple Point de Palestrina, says Mattia.

It is easy and fun, do give it a try for a truly knobbly stitch line.


First:

The second knot:


The third knot:

Then repeat.


Homework:
Nothing as fancy as 2012, just add stitches to the
Aida Sampler
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart
and
New Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
