Sunday Stitch School: 242 - Double Wheatear Stitch

When you hear the name of this week's stitch, Double Wheatear Stitch, you already know what's in store, don't you?

Yes, it is a version of the basic Wheatear Stitch, where you make TWO pairs of ears for each kernel. 

Learn it at Pintangle where Sharon will treat you to an easy-to-follow tutorial.

Here are my photo instructions:

Make a V.

Make another V.

Take the needle behind the stitches

without going through the fabric.

Here is your first stitch:

a kernel with TWO pairs

of ears.

Make another set.

End with a kernel.

You can also add a single ear at

the top.

How about ending the line with the

ears? Not, authentic, maybe,

but why not?

What do you think?

Homework:

Let the wheat grow strong on these samplers.

I hope we won't need a scarecrow to keep the Bow Tie 'birds' away from the crops!
