April Stitch Challenge

Blanket Stitch

 

For this month’s stitch challenge Lucy has very kindly provided not just photos, but detailed instructions for each step of blanket stitch.

Bring up needle at A

Go in at B, then up at C, making sure the needle is pulled up through the loop of thread.

Then repeat …

   

To finish, J: make a small stitch to the right; K: pull thread through to the back.

   

You can vary the size and length of each stitch.  In the image below, a variety of threads has been used to attach this piece of work to a hoop, and further rows of blanket stitch have been added.
