166 Satin Herringbone Stitch

This stitch looks very similar to 170 Danish Cross Stitch, but is worked very differently.

167 Fringed Herringbone Stitch

Thanks to Sharon Boggon of Pintangle and TAST, we have this charming variation of Herringbone Stitch.

168 Croatian Stitch

A kind of laced Running Stitch, where you are supposed to fill in a space.

169 Kerman Stitch

This is a beautiful stitch, traditionally used on Persian shawls.

170 Danish Knotted Cross Stitch

A cross with a knot, there are many stitches similar, like 43 Moss Stitch, but this is an easy one.

Homework:

Friday Homework for Lesson 170: Danish Knotted Cross Stitch

This stitch is easy, and easily confused with Danish Knot Stitch, Moss Stitch and Satin Herringbone Stitch.

I like that it looks like a bug.

Log Cabin Challenge

12 blocks were stitched into a set.

Crazy for Crazy

All the triangles around the edges have been stitched on, as have the corner triangels.

I have also stitched on the binding on the front.

Next will be to put on the back, the hanging sleeve and to stitch down the binding on the back.

We are nearing the end...

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 170: Danish Knotted Cross Stitch

Welcome to have a look at Sunday Stitch School's stitch No 170, which I have called Danish Knotted Cross Stitch. 

I found it in Totsuka Embroidery Stitch Book #6 (戸塚刺しゅうステッチBook 6. 

There is no official name in the book, so I made a descriptive name, Danish Knotted Cross Stitch, as this is a combination of a Cross Stitch and a Danish Knot Stitch, the latter is a stitch we did long ago!

Work it like this:

Make a Cross Stitch.

Come out above the middle of the cross.

Don't pick up any of the fabric.

Tighten the loop a bit,

then make the knot on the other side.

Anchor above the line.

Is it a bug, I wonder?!

Several in a row make a nice line.

Of course you can first make all the crosses and then do the knots in a different colour or thread.

This is a stitch with possibilities.

Homework:

Make these samplers 'bug infested'.
