TAST 68 - Slipped Detached Chain Stitch

This week’s TAST stitch is the Slipped Detached Chain Stitch, also known as the Tulip Stitch.  If you want to know what TAST is all about, check out Sharon B’s Pintangle blog. It’s a great way to learn new stitches.

I really like this stitch and I think it will make a great border. Here’s my sample, using #5 perle cotton for the top row and #8 for the lower row.

 

I’m adding some surface stitches to my yo-yo shawl project.  So far I’ve used #8 perle cotton – chain stitch, feather stitch, and blanket stitch. I’m not planning to stitch on every yo-yo, just here and there.
