Bonnet Stitch

 

About the Bonnet Stitch

This stitch is very decorative and easy to do. The Bonnet Stitch is worked from right to left. I will work between two straight parallel lines to show this stitch.


How to do the Bonnet Stitch

Fig 1: Start by bringing out the needle from point A in the lower stitch line. Then, Take the needle in through B and out through C, both slightly angled from A, as shown.Fig 2: Now, take the needle from under the the stitch A-B, without plucking the fabric beneath, as shown.
Fig 3: Pull out the needle and see a twisted effect happening. Next, put the needle in through A and out through D, a point directly below C. Loop the thread under the needle and pull out the needle.Fig 4: Begin the next stitch, by taking the needle in through E and out through F. There is a slight gap between C and E.
Fig 5: Observe how the needle goes out of the stitch near D before going in through the fabric at G. Keep on with this procedure.Fig 6: A finished row looks like this.

    Hi Sarah,
    Firstly I would like to congratulate you on creating this treasure trove of embroidery. I absolutely love it and I am going to start doing some basic stitches for practise before getting into designs. I just wanted to know how does one trace designs on to the cloth? Also if we use a pencil to draw on the cloth, will the pencil marks go away after washing? Pls help
    Many thanks
