Scarf 001

Scarf 001

This pattern is embroidered with white thread with flat and punched embroidery comprised of: knitted stitch, a string, a roller, oblique satin, cut-out hemstitch and a triple backstitch. The edge (of the whole scarf) is cut into cloves, finished with knitted embroidery. In each clove a hole is filled with a pulled out hemstitch, resembling a spider web or a flower. The main decorative motif covers the corner of the scarf and consists of several elements: flowers arranged from trimmed holes (middle and 5 or 7 petals), flowers made of a hole filled with hemstitch (whose petals are embroidered with satin), twigs with leaves (made of a string and satin), a wavy line made of holes, a "triple" heart (arranged alternately of twigs covered with leaves and holes) and a flower composed of three heads mounted on twigs covered with leaves (the longest in the middle and two shorter on the sides).
