Knotted Cable Chain Stitch

The orange blossom in the center is attached with a Knotted Double Chain Stitch.  I have a couple of books that explain the stitch but I did not get it so I did a browser search and found Sara's Tutorial.


I understood her clear photos.  The stitch is actually  a combination stitch which is made by alternating a coral stitch with a chain stitch.  When I go the hang of it you can see that it is a coral, a chain, a coral, a chain, and so on.  I did not space my stitching well.  I began with a coral and I ended with a coral so at the top of the blossom I have 2 coral stitches together.  OOPs.  Lesson learned.  I will so better next time and watch the space so I end up every other one correctly.
