Granitos Stitch - Tutorial

Hi all

Hope all are doing well.  Yesterday I have posted a design to practice Granitos stitch. Today I am happy to share with you the tutorial for doing the stitch.

Granitos stitch comes under the straight stitch family.  It is made up of series of straight stitches.  It is a thick stitch that looks similar to lazy daisy stitch.  It can worked easily and quickly.  It is often used in chikkankari work in India.  Later I will post a chikkankari work design that uses this stitch.  

Now let's move on to the tutorial.

Hope all of you have understood this tutorial.  Do give a try and give your feedback in the comments section.
