Turn your lattice so that you are working with the lattice lines running diagonally. We’ll work step by step through two rows, so you can see how the stitch works out. Sounds confusing? Never fear! Let’s work through it together. So, each “row” is really made of up two rows of intersections, and you can see that row #1 in the photo above shares some intersections with row #2. Row #2 in blue begins on the right, on the lowest stitch on the right, and progresses left, stepping up an intersection (shared with row #1) and then back down to the base of row #2. As the row progresses across to the right, you move up an intersection and then back down. In the photo above, row #1 is in red, and it begins on the first red line farthest to the left, which is lower than the second red line.
#Lattice work plus
Once your grid is stitched, it’s time to start lacing! Before we move ahead, though, let’s look at what is meant by “row” when lacing in this particular manner.Ī “row” of lacing comprises all the intersections that line up with the side intersection where you begin stitching, plus all the intersections immediately above that line of intersections. What you want to end up with, no matter how you do it, is a grid of lines that are perpendicular to each other. I stitched a more-or-less square grid on the diagonal of the fabric, but you can stitch yours with horizontal and vertical laid stitches that are parallel and perpendicular to the weave of your fabric, if you wish. For practice, you’ll want a square grid, but you’ll be turning it on the diagonal to work the lacing. Stitch a lattice grid either on the diagonal or square – it doesn’t really matter.
#Lattice work how to
If you’re unsure of how to work the laid stitches for the grid, refer to the Stitch Fun article on Griffin Stitch, where you’ll find a photo tutorial on laying stitches for the initial lattice grid. We’ve already covered how to do this with other lattice stitches we’ve explored, so you’re already familiar with how easy this step is! The Lattice Gridįirst, you have to work up your lattice grid. In the photo above, the pink stitches are laced in and out of the intersections formed by the laid stitches in the lattice.
We’re going to look at two or three different laced lattice stitches, and this first one is the simplest.
You are limited only by your imagination here, so feel free to play about with laced lattice stitches and have a bit of Stitch Fun!
Laced lattice stitches offer a lot of leeway for experimentation – you can mix up thread types, colors, and lacing techniques to produce a variety of different effects with lattice fillings. Now, we’re going to combine the concept of lattice stitches and lacing stitches to produce a raised, detached filling that can be lacy, light, and lovely. So, we mixed up the lattice stitch tutorials with a few tutorials on lacing regular stitches, remember?
#Lattice work series
When I first started playing with lattice stitches as part of the Stitch Fun series of embroidery stitch tutorials, I was moving towards laced lattice stitches, because they’re a little more difficult to figure out than regular lattice work.
