Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 117: French Knotted Lazy Daisy Stitch

It's a sunny Sunday here and a pity to sit indoors too long. That's why today's stitch is an easy and fast one. Actually it is made up of two well known stitches, Lazy Daisy and French Knot.

It can be found in Totsuka Embroidery Stitch Book #8, and has no name. Let's call it French Knotted Lazy Daisy, until an established name is found. Please leave a comment if you know of any such name.

The workings of this stitch is easy to guess, but I have added these pictures anyway.

Make a Lazy Daisy Stitch

Wrap the thread twice around the needle, forming a French Knot.

Anchor the knot just below the chain.

Voila! There you have it!

Make a few more into a flower, if you like.
