Twisted chain stitch

twisted chain stitch Start as for ordinary chain stitch, but instead of inserting the needle into the place from where it emerged, insert it close to the last loop and take a small slanting stitch, coming out on the line of the design. Pull the thread through. To create the correct effect, the loops of this stitch should be worked closely together.
