On knitting it would be perfect as the slanted stitches would 'give' a bit and stretch along with the knit.<br />Yesterday I was asked to darn a torn knee on a pair of jeans. Do you think I used the Japanese Darning? NO! I settled down at the machine and did the usual straight stitch back and forth until the hole was invisible. THEN I remember the Japanese Darning Stitch. Mind you, the old gentleman whose jeans they were, would not have liked anything fancy!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-22133365181734050382017-02-03T23:20:14.756+09:002017-02-03T23:20:14.756+09:00This is a nice looking stitch, I can see the simil...This is a nice looking stitch, I can see the similarities with the machine zig zag stitch as you mentioned Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-63723172383723919042017-02-02T22:11:47.949+09:002017-02-02T22:11:47.949+09:00I think this darning stitch is ment to be decorati...I think this darning stitch is ment to be decorative and should be done in a different colour than the sock/trousers knee itself.

You will find it used by people in Asia to South America. But, I have never seen this stitch used in any Kogin piece, ancient or modern. So I had a look at the Korean version but couldn't find it their either. Where it comes from would be conjecture on my part but I would guess that it came out of the contact between France and Japan sometime in the 1800's. We may never know for sure. It is still a great stitch.carorosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976291590807462068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-22424208725738526862017-01-30T08:35:13.845+09:002017-01-30T08:35:13.845+09:00Simple and quick but with the potential to vary th...Simple and quick but with the potential to vary the look with different shades and types of thread, and of course the spacing.
