Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 218: Pointed Tip Buttonhole Knot Flower Stitch

There is a wealth of embroidery stitches, designs and stitch combinations in India. Lots of them can be found on the internet, on various blogs or on Youtube.

 I came across today's stitch at Let's Learn Embroidery and it is called Pointed Tip Buttonhole Knot Flower. It is a version of the Buttonhole Bar Stitch.

Check it out at the link above.

Here is my photo tutorial:

Use two threads in the needle, go from A to B.

Out at A.

Buttonhole Stitch over the lower of the threads only (no fabric).

In at C.

Turn the work and come out at B.

Buttonhole the other remaining stitch,  and go in at A.

If you want to make a stem, come out at D and 

in at A again.

..........................

Another method is to use ONE strand of thread in the needle.

Then you need to make TWO straight stitches, of course.

Turn the work and fill the lower thread with Buttonhole Stitch.

When you come to the end, if you anchor the stitch at D, instead of at A,

you will get a mirrored look of the two sides, instead of a stem.

Homework: 

Let flowers bloom on these samplers.
