Ceylon Stitch Tutorial: Knitting Imitation in Embroidery
Hello to everyone!
Excuse me, I'm leaving for a moment. Early June was like a sleigh and I needed a break because I really couldn't focus on anything. But now I'm back to my regular posting schedule! Stay tuned, I hope you are all well, safe and sound!
Today we're going to learn to knit Ceylon, which you can use to create woven textures on fabrics. You can use it to sew sweaters, hats, scarves and also as a knitting pad.
Since I haven't practiced with this, you can see the change in the tension of my Ceylon stitch. This can be fixed with just a little practice, so yours can definitely be cleaner.

Ceylon stitches such as:
1. The first thing you need is the base on top. I sewed some knitting needles for fun. However, you can only sew one straight line. Use a back crochet or another straight crochet for this, and if you don't want it to stand out, use a yarn of the same color you used for the Ceylon crochet.
When the base is ready, place the needle under it on one side.
2. Now slide the needle from the top under one of the basic stitches. Make sure that the working end of the thread is under the needle.
3. Repeat the previous steps under each base point.
4. Then insert the needle under the base on the opposite side.
5. Start with the needle under the previous row and slide it behind the cross thread above. And do the same for each row.
6. If you are afraid of snagging the thread, use the eye of the needle to push through it and maneuver between stitches.
7. After a while you will have something like this.
If you are copying the knitting process, you can leave it as is. And when sewing a sweater, for example, it is better to tie the last loop with a small stitch.
By the way, you can get creative and change the color of the lines or even create fun patterns.
