ROSETTE CHAIN STITCH
 
This is a very complicated stitch, totally unrelated to the Chain Stitch.

Start the stitch with a loop around the needle as shown in the drawing below (Step 1). Thread the needle under the stitch as shown in Step 2. You are now positioned for the next loop (Step 3).
 



Finished Stitch:

 
When the Rosette Chain stitch is stitched in a circle, it makes a lovely flower.
 
 
Hints:
  • Keep the stitches small. That way the loops will maintain their fullness and look more even.
