Watching embroidery tutorials on YouTube is addictive. Many interesting and beautiful stitches and stitch combinations are being introduced there. Unfortunately, many of them have no names.
Such is the case with today's stitch, which I have named Semi Diamond Chain Stitch as it is made up of two Lazy Daisy stitches joined to a V-shaped stitch, thereby forming a diamond of two kinds of stitches. Should you know of an official name, please let me know in the comments below.
Here is the YouTube video by Sun Embroidery. Semi Diamond Chain Stitch is the first of the many border stitches, it can be seen on the far left in the picture below.
Here is my photo tutorial:
Add Semi Diamond Chain Stitch to the Aida and the Mottled Wool Samplers and the Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart. However, this reference chart is now full so a new one must be prepared.

I like this stitch! There are many interesting things on YouTube.
That is a cool stitch. It would be great for crazy quilt seams. I’ll need to try it!
Thanks for the link. I like this stitch, now I have to work out where I can use it!
I am glad you like watching them on Youtube! I prefer your step by step instructions. They are so well done!
It is such a pretty stitch. Thank you for the tutorial. I'm always in awe of your stitches - you are up to lesson 292 (!)... whereas know and use about three stitches, ha ha. Someday, maybe...
I'm amazed you are still finding new stitches to do.Finding names that describe them makes it a double challenge.
That's a new one to me - it makes a rather sweet border stitch all by itself!
Semi Diamond is a new stitch to me, I like it. Good tutorial too.
There are so many stitches. I respect you for continuing to explore that.
