Yesterday we began this delightful free mantle stocking design, Holiday Ribbons. Today we’ll do the green ribbons. Tomorrow we’ll finish up the project.
Left Ribbon
This ribbon is stitched in Irregular Alternating Slanted Gobelin Stripe, below, using Watercolours for all but the single thread stripes. Those are stitched with metallic.
Center Ribbon
I used Petite Very Velvet for this ribbon. It’s stitched in Cashmere Double Brickwork, below.
Right Ribbon
This ribbon is stitched in Burden Stitch, below. The laid threads are metallic while the tying stitches are Neon Rays Plus.
