The directions for this stitch are available from Get
Creative.
Review:
This stitch really takes a lot of practice. After I figured out
exactly what it was I was doing, I still had to work a bit on my tension/gauge
to make the stitches look right. I also adapted the pattern by working
in the front loops of the ch 5 the first time and the back loops of the
ch 5 when I went back to finisht he square. It made it a little neater
because I was having problems getting into the remaining loop of the chains.
I definitely recommend doing a swatch of this before you start any major
projects using it! The directions were pretty clear, once I trusted
them. At first I was trying to guess what happened next and that
was causing problems, so just follow the directions and you shouldn't have
problems.
Uses:
Sampler squares, scarves, purse (if it's lined) or just about anything
else. This might look neat if you do the two different halves of
the square in different colors.
