The Beautiful Byzantine Stitch

Monday April 14, 2008

Byzantine stitches are long, beautiful stitches used a great deal as the background for needlepoint work.

Worked in rows of six to eight stitches (our example is for eight stitches), half of these stitches will be worked horizontally and the rest are worked vertically to form a step type pattern. Byzantine stitches are worked over two to four intersection points.
