Hi, everyone!
Sorry for disappearing for a while. The beginning of June was a rollercoaster, and I needed a break because I literally couldn't concentrate on anything. But now I'm back to regular posting schedule! Thank you for continuing to stick around, I hope you are all well, safe and healthy!
Today let's learn Ceylon stitch that allows you to create a knitting texture on fabric. You can use it to stitch sweaters, hats, scarfs, and also use it as a filler stitch.
Since I don't have any practice with it, you'll be able to see the difference in tension of my Ceylon stitch. This can be fixed with just a bit of training though, so yours definitely can be neater.

Ceylon Stitch How To:
1. The first thing you need is the base at the top. I stitched a couple of knitting needles just for the fun of it. However, you can just stitch a straight line. Use back stitch or any other straight stitch for this purpose, and if you don't want it to stand out, use the same color of thread as for the ceylon stitch.
When you have the base ready, bring the needle up under it on one of the sides.
2. Now slide the needle under one of the base stitches from above. Make sure that the working end of the thread is under the needle.
3. Repeat the previous step under each stitch of the base.
4. And then insert the needle on the opposite side, under the base.
5. Start the needle under the previous row and slide it behind the crossing of thread above. And keep doing the same for each row.
6. If you're scared to grab at the fibers of thread, use the eye of the needle when sliding and maneuvring it in between the stitches.
7. After a while, you will have something like that.
If you're imitating a knitting process, you can leave it like that. And if you're stitching a sweater, for example, it would be better to anchor the last row with small stitches.
By the way, you can get creative and switch colors for the rows or even create a fun pattern!
