STITCH OF THE MONTH
Knife edge pillow appliqued with two floral letters by LEE
The other day a customer asked about the background on this pillow. I took a look at it and realized it’s a mini Scotch Checker which is super easy and looks special but not too fancy
This is worked over two rows – one square comprised of 4 basket weave stitches and the other is stitched with one regular stitch on the diagonal, then a diagonal over two row and a single stitch flanking it. This makes the other square.
These squares are over 4 rows, as is the instruction chart to the right or below.
This two color checkerboard look works well for borders or could be a subtle background if two similar colors are used – one for the long stitch diagonal squares and the other for the basket weave squares.
