Here's the
"Starter Fluted Columns" stitch completed. Note the positions of
the blue and red strands, as these were the last two strands we were working
with. |
|
To start
the next Fluted Columns Stitch, you need to swap the strands around, so the
yellow and green strands lie on TOP of the blue and red strands. BOTH yellow
and BOTH green strands should be on TOP of the blue and red strands before
continuing. |
|
Now,
forgetting about the blue and red strands for the moment, do another
SuperBrick stitch by making two loops out of your black strands, then weaving
the yellow, purple, and green strands through the loops... |
|
...like
this. Leave the stitch loose for the next step... |
|
...which
you'll need to get ready for by placing the blue and red strands ON TOP of
the yellow and green strands (just as they were when we started the stitch). |
|
Push one
purple strand end back through the stitch to form a loop on one side, then
take the end of the red strand on the side of the single purple strand OVER
the single strand and THROUGH the purple loop... |
|
...and
then take the other end of the red strand OVER the purple loop and UNDER the
single purple strand... |
|
...to
complete the first Square Stitch! |
|
Push the
other end of the purple strand back through the stitch to make a loop on the
other side, then take the blue end on the side of the single purple strand
OVER the single purple strand and THROUGH the purple loop as shown. |
|
While the
other end of the blue strand goes OVER the purple loop, then UNDER the single
purple strand... |
|
...to
complete the second Square Stitch! |
|
Take turns
pulling SLOWLY, first three strands on one side, then three strands on the
other side, to complete your next stitch. Repeat the above as often as
needed. |
| Continue working the Fluted Columns
Stitch until the SHORTEST working strand you have is between 5½ and 6 inches
long, then do a FLUTED
COLUMNS COMPLETION STITCH to finish off the project. |
A Fluted Columns Stitch Project, properly completed! |
