Directions

This is really straightforward to stitch. Do one round on each pentagon and then one on each triangle. Repeat for as many rounds as you want. I did one of each fiber in the order listed above and then repeated the Gunmetal to finish. You can keep going for an all over design or stop and leave the negative space like on this one.

Notes

Fabulous texture! Chenille was hard to work with. Noticable wear after just a few stitches. Would be better for wrappped designs, but feel is amazing. Nicer than other velvet threads I have used.
