There are many ways to alter stitches, one of them is by whipping. Look at these:
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.
All good stitch varieties but the Whipped Fly stitch wheel, is Fabulous!
Those little wheels are so versatile.
Ooh, now there's an interesting variation on Fly Stitch!
