It suddenly seems like I'm stumbling across stitches that I've never heard of before! I was looking at some videos on Youtube when I saw a video called the Potawatomi Stitch/ Weave out of the corner of my eye. Pota...what? Of course I immediately abandoned the video I was watching and went to this other one.

| Potawatomi Daisy Chain |
Turns out, the Potawatomi stitch is Native American and you can use it to create Daisy Chains. It is slightly more complex than the traditional Daisy Chain Stitch and produces a sturdier end result.
As usual, I have found a link to a website that demonstrates how to do this stitch: http://www.kolumbus.fi/vera-aleksa.sula/english/projects/potawatomi_weave.htm
The video link that I had found on Youtube, for those of you who prefer videos is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogFSvMeBV4I
This stitch would be great for making jewellery for children but if you used just one or two colours of seedbeads, I think it would result in a more adult piece.
However you choose to use this stitch, enjoy and let me know what you think! Feel free to share your final creations so I can post them (beadznbobz@gmail.com).
