When I heard the name of this stitch I instantly thought of gold chain necklaces, and how they tend to knot themselves if you don't store them properly.
There is no need to worry, you will have no such problem with this stitch. Instead the knots hold the chains in place. Yes, chainS, because you first need to make two parallel rows of Chain Stitch, and then tie them together with knotty Coral Stitch. If you already know these two stitches, then today's lesson will be a breeze.
Tied Chain Stitch comes from Sarah's Hand Embroidery Stitch Tutorials.
Here are my pictures:
In Sarah's Stitch Tutorial the Coral Stitch is
worked from left to right.
I have done the traditional Coral Stitch, right
to left.
Tie the knots only around the inner links of the
Chains without going through the fabric.
This is an interesting stitch.
