Like many other whipped stitches, a contrasting thread is ‘whipped’ over the satin stitch.

You need to know the satin stitch to be able to do this stitch.

Then, bring out through C which lies vertically below B, and continue the process of whipping.   Fig 2: After finishing the finished pattern would look like this.

Fig 3: Continue this process of taking the needle under each back stitch foundation to give it a twining effect.

 

NOTE:
Make sure that while taking the needle and thread under each running stitch, you do not pluck the fabric underneath. You can use a blunt needle to acheive this.
Make sure to leave the back stitch just a bit loose in order to allow the other thread to pass through it easily.
