Robe of the third Shepherd

For the coat of the third shepherd, simple thread withdrawing 4:2 is made in the vertical direction. Filling pattern 568 is embroidered with coton à broder No. 20.

Since I’m not sure if I will use the pattern in the sleeves horizontally,

or also run vertically, I made two copies of the figure. In one copy I cut out the sleeves

and deposit them on a trial basis with the pattern of the second copy.

In the end, I decide to orient the pattern vertically, but slightly offset from the existing pattern.

The dress is decorated with Chain stitches (coton à broder No. 16) to match the hat.

The collar is trimmed with Blanket stitches to match the stick pattern.

So the fourth figure – Shepherd 3 – is finished.

Stick of the third Shepherd

The third shepherd also holds a stick. This time it should be embroidered before the coat gets a filling pattern.

For this I choose Blanket stitches (coton à broder No. 16), because with these stitches one can trace the curve of the stick knob well.

The stitches are placed at a small distance so that more stitches can be placed between them from the opposite side.

However, in order to cover the ends of the thread withdrawing for the filling pattern, I have to work Chain stitches next to the Blanket stitches. This makes the stick look very wide at the end.

Robe of the second Shepherd (C)

At the end, the second shepherd´s hat gets a simple, horizontal thread withdrawing by leaving 3, cutting 1

and with Wave stitches (coton à broder No. 20) the same pattern as the cape.

This completes the second figure, shepherd 2.

Robe of the second Shepherd (B)

To ensure that the pattern in the two lower parts of the coat is at the same height, a horizontal thread is withdrawn for marking.

From there, a limet grid is established by leaving 3, cutting 1 and embroidered with filling pattern 554 (coton à broder No. 20).

The upper part of the coat should receive the same pattern. However, since the areas are very small, only 2:1 (leave 2, cut 1) is withdrawn here and the same pattern (coton à broder No. 20) is embroidered into this reduced grid.

The dress peeks out just a little from under the coat. To decorate the narrow areas, Blanket stitches (coton à broder No. 20) are embroidered.

Robe of the second Shepherd (A)

For the cloak of the second shepherd, only horizontal threads (leave 3, cut 1) are withdrawn. In the area of the hair, thread withdrawing is intermitted.

Wave stitches (coton à broder No. 25) are worked into the area.

For the cuffs, the thread is withdrawn leaving 2, cutting 1. The shapes are filled with Cable stitches (coton à broder No. 25).
