October Bead-A-Long St. Petersburg Chain

St Petersburg Chain Stitch


Double St Petersburg Chain is one of my favorite stitches. It makes an especially pretty band for a necklace or bracelet and a charming openwork leaf.

The Dec/Jan 2008 issue of Bead and Button has instructions for a gorgeous choker, “Regal Reiteration”, designed by Hatsumi Oshitami and stitched in St Petersburg and reverse St Petersburg stitches.
