Introduction to Side Trips - A Simple Motif
If you are done with the first 3 samples and the assignment, you are ready to venture into side trips. In this session, we'll try to understand the nuances of side-trips. I've used a different colour for side trips for ease of reference only.
Let's start this session of free online step by step Kasuti Embroidery tutorial with a simple motif. The style employed here is Ganti.
Ganti Kasuti: The Holbein stitch is worked in straight, vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines.
Designs that Employ this style: Octogons, hexagons, swastikas (I'll add more as I come across them)
Here's Sample 2.1.
Step 1 is the onward journey + the side trips.

You can download a graph sheet ideal for Kasuti. Just click on Graph sheet to get your copy. Let me know if the link is broken.
Step 1 is the onward journey + the side trips.
Notice that though 1-3 is a straight line, we work it as 2 lines. All vertical and horizontal stitches are equidistant. For obvious reasons, the diagonal lines are slightly longer.
Step 2 = return journey
Now try working the motif in a single colour.
If you have any doubts, let me know.
