Friday Homework for Lesson 335: Hungarian Braided Chain Stitch

 What can you not like about this stitch? Nothing! It is simply wonderful, fantastic to stitch, elegant to look at and very useful. It takes curves nicely and could be used for text as well.

Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth


I used ribbon, which gives a very textured effect. You can almost see the 'snake' slithering away!


Good Bye Mottled Wool Scribble Cloth

The wool sampler is now filled with 137 different stitches.

 I started in the centre with #198 Whipped Wheatear, on 4th February 2022.


I finished on 20th August, 2025 with #335 Hungarian Braid Stitch.



The sampler was trimmed at the edges and equipped with a binding (I used a leftover apron sash made from shirt fabric).





For the next stitch, I will start a new sampler where a lovely red kimono silk will be the foundation.

Hungarian Braided Chain Stitch is elegant isn't it? In ribbon it's very textural. Congratulations on your finish.
