Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 358: Air Chain Stitch

On YouTube, I found a neat stitch posted by SahinaArts. It looked like a ladder with Palestrina Stitch for the two rails, and a string of loose Chain Stitch for each of the rungs. 

Unfortunately, I can no longer find this video clip. That is why, today, I want to use the section that makes up the rungs.

If you are familiar with crocheting, you know how to make a slip knot 


and then cast on a set of links for a chain,

thus making Sunday Stitch School #358 Air Chain Stitch. We will, of course, be using an embroidery needle instead of the crochet hook.

Just follow the photo tutorial:


























For those of you who have taken part in TAST and remember Buttonhole Version 2 with Picot, you already know how to make the Air Chain Stitch.

Homework:
Build some Air Chain arches on these samplers.
