Interlaced Chain Stitch is also known as
Punto de Cadena Entrelazado [ES].
About the Interlaced Chain Stitch
The Interlaced Chain Stitch is a beautiful looking stitch that could appear challenging to understand. It just follows a simple weaving over a Chain Stitch base. It reminds me of a grub! It is similar to the Pekinese Stitch technique, but we do it on either side of the Chain Stitch. Experiment with two or three different contrasting colored threads for this stitch to get different effects. Do the weaving using a tapestry needle.
How to do the Interlaced Chain Stitch
You need to know the Chain Stitch to be able to continue with this variation of the stitch.
 |  |
| Fig 1: Make a base row of Chain Stitch. Bring out the needle with another thread from one end of the row. Pass the needle through the Chain Stitch as shown without plucking the fabric beneath. | Fig 2: Turn around and loop the Chain Stitch by passing the needle under the stitch as illustrated. |
 |  |
| Fig 3: Continue looping one side of the Chain Stitch in the same manner. | Fig 4: At the end of the row, finish up passing the needle through the fabric, close to the Chain Stitch, as shown. |
 |  |
| Fig 5: Bring out the needle again from one end of the row, and start looping the other side of the Chain Stitch row. | Fig 6: This is a finished sample of a short row of the Interlaced Chain Stitch. |

Obrigada por ensinar tão bem ❤️🩹
Thank you, Irene 🙂
Is there a physical copy of the book anywhere? I’d buy it in a heartbeat if there is.
Hi! Right now, we have only digital copies of our book. The second edition is a massive 600-page, image-intense book. Though a hard copy is wonderful to have, we figured the digital copy is much easier to carry and deal with. The best thing is that you can zoom in on all these high-resolution images if it is a digital copy. You can never damage or misplace it, either! If necessary, just print out the pages that you need.
I would encourage you to try out our digital copy. Many, who initially wished for a physical copy, are now happy with the digital one! 🙂
