PALACE PATTERN STITCH
The Palace Pattern Stitch is worked in four different directions and
consists of straight stitches. This stitch may be resized to suit your project needs. However, be sure that you do not create stitches that are too long, as they will snag. For a more interesting effect, try working this stitch using alternating colors. The palace pattern stitch may be worked in any direction. Four diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
Palace Pattern Stitch (Diagram 1):
This diagram illustrates the palace pattern stitch being worked horizontally, from left to right. The next diagram will show the next row being worked from right to left. As previously stated, this is optional. This stitch may be worked in whatever manner is most comfortable for you. Bring the needle up at A, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at T. Bring the needle up at U, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at V. Bring the needle up at W, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at X. Bring the needle up at Y, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at Z. Bring the needle up at AA, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at BB. Bring the needle up at CC, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at DD. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Palace Pattern Stitch (Diagram 2):
This diagram illustrates how the second row of stitches should be worked. In order to make the diagram easier to follow, these stitches are illustrated in dark blue. Because the first row was worked from left ot right, this row will be worked from right to left. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at T. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Palace Pattern Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how the third row of stitches should be worked. In order to make the diagram easier to follow, these stitches are illustrated in light blue. Because the previous row was worked from right to left, this row will be worked from left to right. Bring the needle up at A, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at T. Bring the needle up at U, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at V. Bring the needle up at W, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at X. Bring the needle up at Y, move to the right over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at Z. Bring the needle up at AA, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at BB. Bring the needle up at CC, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at DD. Now, continue on to Diagram 4...
Palace Pattern Stitch (Diagram 4):
This diagram illustrates how the fourth row of stitches should be worked. In order to make the diagram easier to follow, these stitches are illustrated in dark blue. Because the previous row was worked from left ot right, this row will be worked from right to left. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move up and to the left over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at T. This completes the palace pattern stitch. As you can see, when complete, it creates an interesting pattern.
