Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 139: Sycamore Stitch

Today's stitch is from Elizabeth Healey's book 'Stitch, Fabric & Thread' - the Sycamore Stitch.

It's easy maths,  Lazy Daisy Stitch x 2 + Straight Stitch x 1.

Work it like this:
Make a single slanting Chain Stitch

Anchor at top and come out in the
same hole again.

Make a mirrored Chain Stitch
and add a Straight Stitch

As I said, easy math, beautiful result.

Homework:
Practise doing sums on these samplers.

This reminds me of a tiny plant, just starting to grow.

Sycamore Stitch is organic, like a little seedling or little petals from a big head of hydrangea. Good tutorial.

You could use lots of them at different angles to make the head of an angelica flower..

Are you going to use this as a line or fill stitch?
