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.
