Reference: Twelve Dozen Stitches in Twelve Months
Here’s another stitch that is a good candidate for variegated threads. The sample is done in perle (cotton) size 8, beige and medium purple. The beaded version replaces the French knots with Swarovski® Crystals (bicone, 2mm, color: jet AB).
Here is the order of stitches I completed to create this combination stitch:
Step 1: Stitch the zigzag
Step 2: Stitch the straight stitches below the zigzag
Step 3: Stitch the straight stitches above the zigzag, leave enough room for the French knot
Step 4: Stitch the French knot
Step 5: Stitch the lazy daisies, one center large and four smaller ones

I've just found your fabulous site. I love Crazy Patchwork, the embellishing not the patchwork. I do something I call faux Crazy patch. I get to indulge in my love of stitching without the tedium. I'll be visiting often. Lovely
Lovely concept!! Thank you so much for doing this. I love trying new stitch combinations and I know I will use these. I found you via SharonB and hope it's okay if I post a link to your site on my blog too.
I noticed that this time you gave the stitch order. I'm going to try your second one tomorrow on my current moms cq block and see if I can stick to a charted design!
Beautiful work and encourgment to others!
