STARBUST (Catherine Wheels) Pouch by Moira Durano-Abesmo

STARBUST (Catherine Wheels) Pouch

This pattern is available for free.

One of the most interesting stitch pattern I’ve encountered is the starbust stitch, more commonly known as Catherine wheels stitch. The illusion of dc’s or tr’s radiating from various points, as if multiple circular motifs have been stitched together, like exploding fireworks in the sky, is just irresistible. But the reality is,its just alternating rows of shells and dc tog’s. Where the stitches gather creates a hump, making this stitch pattern a beautiful combination of humps and lumps. I really love running my fingers through its gorgeous texture.
