Follow the V of each existing knit stitch with the embroidery yarn. Match the base loop’s size without pulling the knitted fabric closed.
Before you start
Use smooth, light yarn and a small sample that matches the lesson’s flat or circular construction. Mark the right side and record the starting stitch count. Follow the pattern’s own stitch key.
Try this example
Add a three-by-three motif to a washed stockinette sample. Stretch gently after each row and inspect the reverse so traveling thread does not restrict the base fabric.
Check your result
- Count live stitches, trace one column and inspect both faces. Compare the relaxed edge with the middle of the sample before repeating the operation on a project.
- Stitch names and mounts vary between knitting styles. Follow the required fabric structure and pattern key rather than assuming every front loop is the correct entry point.
