Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 261: Y-Edge Stitch

I found a nice edging stitch on Pinterest but unfortunately lost the source. I have searched but have not managed to locate the stitch again nor find its name. 

For the sake of simplicity, I will therefore call it Y-Edge Stitch until someone is kind enough to tell me what the official name is. If you know, please leave a comment below.

It is stitched on the edge and resembles the Half Herringbone Stitch (#258) in the way it is executed, but the look is (on the front) exactly like Plaited Fly Stitch (#236).

Work it like this:

Make a fold in the fabric.

Make a knot and take the needle out through the top.

It will look like this on the back.

Make an upright stitch from the back to the front through the fold.

Take a horizontal stitch in the top fabric only.

You'll see this on the back.

Repeat with an upright stitch through the fold.

Remember, the next horizontal stitch bites the front fabric only.

These stitches are wide apart and rather tall.

These are crammed closer together and are shorter.

If YOU were to name this stitch what would you use? Crowned Arch Stitch? Spiked Knuckleduster Stitch? I'll stick to Y-Edge Stitch for the time being.
