#241 is called Bow Tie Stitch and it is a Canvas stitch of the Rhodes Stitch family. I got it from Shannon's collection. Check it out at her website, Badass Cross Stitch.
In my version, I have changed the order to save on thread.
Work it like this:
Use a fabric where the holes are easy to see
and count, Aida would be perfect.
Here is the stitch plan.
Come out at 1 and go in at 2.
Out at 3, in at 4.
Then follow the numbers.
Out at 17 in at 18.
Out at 19, in at 20.
Continue till you reach 24.
Completed!
See how little thread was
used on the back!
Homework:
Add here. Use waste canvas on the Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth and the Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart.
I love the look of that stitch!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice stitch and I can see how it could be a thread eater.

Oh it's like a spell. Spinning around in my head.
The probability of sewing without mistakes is likely to increase.
So clever to stitch this pretty stitch this way!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing to bear in mind is that sometimes the minimum-thread-usage version of a stitch compromises coverage. So it's worth experimenting a bit!
ReplyDeleteFun variation!
ReplyDeleteHi Queenie, we have snow and sunshine this morning, sparkly.
I saw Sue in your previous post with her chocolates. We are having pizza for Valentine's Day. Unconventional but enjoyable.
Happy Valentine's Day.
I think it is a good idea changing the order to save on thread.
ReplyDeleteYour scribble cloth is looking amazing. What will you do with it?
ReplyDeleteActually it is interesting that your version of the stitch doesn't really use all that much thread on the back.
