Kutch Work-LESSON IV

The Double Herringbone and interlacing

This motif is merely a build up of the Basic Single diamond.



This motif has as its foundation, the Double Herringbone Stitch - the working of which is illustrated in the picture. Just be sure to follow the same principles of overs and unders we established in the previous lessons.



This illustration shows how to turn once the end of the motif is reached. Notice that the second part of the Double Herringbone is worked from left to right as a continuation of the first part.
