Top 3 rows are from Sharon’s Sampler
Top Row…Alternating pairs of short and long Buttonhole Stitches, worked with 2 strands of cotton floss.
Second Row…staggered Buttonhole stitches flipped from side to side , worked with 2 strands cotton floss, it looks different from sharon’s because I have used a finer thread, less stitches in each group and the stitches are shorter…I like the way the detached chain stitch (3 strands silk floss) and beads fit into this variation.
Third row…Buttonhole stitches, staggered on both sides and flipped from side to side, worked with a fine silk thread.
Bottom row…Is from a stitch by stitch1peta, I liked the border formed by adding the narrow row of buttonhole to the top of the scollop topped row and the overall fringe looking effect of the combination. Worked with 2 strands of a varigated cotton floss.
