category: simple drawn thread filling pattern
linen used: 13.5/cm thread-count
threads used: coton à broder No. 20
stitches used: Wave stitches
horizontal center axis: withdrawn thread line
First, remove the center fabric thread in the direction in which the pattern will later run.
Starting from the resulting withdrawn thread line, leave always 5 fabric threads and withdrawt one.
Again starting from the center thread line, skip a 5-thread group and withdraw the middle one of the next 5-thread group.
Then skip two 5-thread groups at a time and withdraw the middle one of the next 5-thread group.
This creates an alternation of two 5-thread groups with two 2-thread groups each.
Starting in the middle (here rotated by 90°), now work Wave stitches over 6 fabric threads in width,
both via the 5-thread groups
as well as the 2-thread groups.
By alternating two high and two flat rows of mosquito stitches, an interesting, easy-to-embroider striped pattern is created. This can be used both horizontally
and vertically, depending on the desired effect.
This pattern was embroidered by Yasuko Kobayashi from Japan. She also gave me permission to share it here.
Thank you so much for sharing, dear Yasuko!
