Advent Calendar 2023 – Nativity Scene
Robe of the third Wise Man
The garment of the third wise man consists of many small areas. Therefore, the pattern must be appropriate – small and modest in appearance.
Thread withdrawing is made 2:1 and
Diagonal Cross filling stitches (Openwork Pattern Samplers, pages 24, 25) are embroidered into the coat parts.
The dividing lines for the sleeves are embroidered only after the filling pattern has been completed.
The curved-line decorations are embroidered with wrapped Chain stitches (coton à broder No. 25).
In contrast to the airy coat pattern, the scarf should be given a dense pattern. I opt for the Satin stitch pattern “narrow pearl pattern” (Wickelstiche page 43) (coton à broder No. 20).
In the photo, the difference between the two patterns is rather small. After washing, it will look different.
At the end, the remaining unembroidered area of the vessel was filled with tiny Wave stitches (coton à broder No. 25).
With the third wise man, the last figure is also embroidered. Now the project still needs to be hemmed, washed, starched and ironed.
Pictures of the final result will follow.
