Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 223: Whipped Fly Stitch Wheel

 There are many ways to alter stitches, one of them is by whipping. Look at these:

From bottom: 
Whipped Running Stitch

Whipped Chain  Stitch, two versions

Whipped Wheel

Whipped  Fly Stitch 


Whipped Fly Stitch consists of a row of Fly Stitch that has been whipped and the Whipped Wheel is often seen made up of five or more spokes. 

In one of my Swedish embroidery books, 'Brodera' by Danish author Jytte Harboesgaard, however, there is a detached Whipped Fly Stitch. It produces a round shape with a Y in it.

So for today's Sunday Stitch School's stitch, I present Whipped Fly Stitch Wheel.

Begin by making a single Fly Stitch:



Then come out of the centre, with the
same or a contrasting thread.

Whip your way around the spokes,
by going underneath two spokes.
The working thread should come
out between them.



Stop when you have covered each spook
and filled the space between.


Homework:
Add here.

Detached Fly Stitch, very clever, and the addition will add interest!
Your detached Chevrons remind me of scattered pylons.
