Time for another 100 Stitches Plus post. This is the Rosette of Thorns Stitch.
For my demonstration, I am using perle cotton floss. This is DMC color variations 4200
Rosette of Thorns Stitch is easy to do. However, it can be challenging to keep the stitch spacing consistent. After some practice, I found that drawing a straight guideline to follow keeps the row of stitches looking even.
This stitch is worked from left to right. It is basically five Blanket {or Buttonhole} Stitches stitched with their bases close together. They are slanted to form a crown shape.
