ROPE STITCH
The Rope Stitch may be worked vertically or horizontally. This stitch may be resized to create thicker lines. The Rope Stitch is an
excellent stitch for lines, curves and corners. To finish a row, vertically or horizontally, work a tie-down stitch at the end. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.

Rope Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off in diagram 1, continue pulling the needle and yarn through the first loop. Create a second loop by following the red arrows. Holding the loop in place, bring the needle and yarn through the loop (following the red arrows). Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Rope Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how three rope stitches should look when complete. Remember to use a tie-down stitch on the last loop to hold it in place. Click on the Printable Version icon to print these diagrams and instructions.
