Hold a
"starter brick stitch" as shown. |
|
Bring the
far strand UP and OVER towards you to form the first loop... |
|
Now take
the near strand UP and OVER away from you to form the second LOOP, next to the first. |
|
Start the
WEAVE by taking the short strand farthest from you UP and OVER the nearest
loop, then UNDER the farthest loop... |
|
...and
pull it all the way through. |
|
The second
strand comes UP and OVER from the other side, then UNDER the far loop... |
|
...and is
pulled through as well. |
|
Here we go
again, this time with the third strand, which should be of a different color
this time. UP and OVER the first loop, then UNDER the second loop... |
|
...and
pull through, yet again! |
|
Last
strand, quiz time: It should go ____ and ____ the nearest loop, then ____ the
farthest loop... |
|
...if you
did it right, it should look something like this. |
|
Slowly
pull the strands away from each other... |
|
...to
finish another Brick stitch! Can you see the two Square Stitches?!? |
|
After
we've completed numerous stitches... |
|
...here's
the bird's eye view, ready to start another stitch. |
Continue working the Brick Stitch
until the SHORTEST working strand you have is between 3½ and 4 inches long,
then do a BRICK COMPLETION STITCH to finish off the project. |
A Brick Stitch Project, properly completed! |
