Take a Stitch Tuesday 2012 - Week Forty-Three


This week's stitch is the buttonhole wheel cup. I tried it twice with two strands of GAST and the second step kept distorting the buttonhole wheel and the buttonhole stitch didn't "stand up" but rather formed a web inside the rim (see the picture on the left) so I switched to perle which managed to hold it's shape better:



The perle cotton "cup" is done with three rows of weaving and it looks sort of like an empty barnacle shell at an angle:
