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

hi vijayalakshmi, just like you uploaded the doc file, you can clikc on the choose file below the comment box, and select the photo of your embroidery, one at a time. That will put a link here in the text box, and then you can press submit. Try once again 🙂
