Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 230: Cone Bullion Knot Stitch

Why not make a visit to Fa's Kitchen again and see what  Fareeha is cooking up for us? On the menu is Cone Bullion Knot Stitch. Anyone who has 'cooked' the Bullion Knot knows how plumb it is, albeit a bit tricky to get even.

If you have problems getting your Bullion Knots nice and even, maybe this is a stitch for you - the Cone Bullion Knot is a bit wonky as it is thicker/looser at one end.

The first steps are the same as for Bullion Knot:



DON'T wrap the thread tightly round the needle.

Instead, start with a little loop.

Make a few more loose wraps,

then make some tight wraps.



Pull the needle through the wraps carefully. It will look like a mess, but just do it slowly.


Then tighten the thread carefully


and anchor the stitch at the bottom.


Now you have this beautiful cone, for ice cream? or cone-shaped flower petals or it could be a carrot.


The orange Bullion Knot does not really look like a carrot compared to the green Cone Bullion Knots - they can't be ripe yet! By the way, do you say ripe about carrots?


Have fun with your homework:

    It's a perfect carrot. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

    You can really change that knot many ways depending on the direction, number of wraps and the tension on those wraps. Sometimes you just don't want perfect Bullion Knots.

    I like an even bullion stitch.

    Yes, I like the cone bullion knot. Bullions can be tweaked into many beautiful shapes, good for flora and fauna.

    I like this version too. The one on the right makes me think of a parsnip- just needs a fawn/white thread. I'll have to try the lesson.
