Embroidery Design - Double Cast on Stitch

 Hi all

Hope all are doing great.  Two days back I have posted the tutorial for doing Double Cast on Stitch.  Today I am happy to share with you a design to practice that stitch.  

For this design I have used pearl cotton threads.  This is the first time I am using pearl cotton thread for doing surface embroidery.  First let us see the stitched design.

Pattern for the design

------------------------------

The leaves of this design are stitched using fishbone stitch.   First I have stitched the leaves and then moved on to stitch the flowers.  

While stitching the flowers I have first made the double cast on stitch along the lines and then stitched another inbetween  the lines.  Then stitched french knots with 1 wrap inside the centre of the flowers.  For the flowers and french knots I have used two strands of pearl cotton thread, for leaves one strand of thread is used.
