Procedure

The brick stitch

Sew a column using the brick stitch as the base (steps 1 and 2). Use the visible outer thread between the individual R for the further sewing.

 

A – String 1x R.
Pass the needle under the thread between the R. Pass the needle back through the R again.

B – Sewing the edges.
If the R stick out from the previous column, string 2x R. Pass the needle under the thread in the 1st gap between the R. Once again pass the needle through the 2nd R. Straighten up the strung R.

C – Sewing the edges.
he column is shorter than the previous one. String 2x R. Pass the needle through the thread in the 2nd gap between the R. Pass the needle through the 2nd R again. Return to the 1st R. Pass the needle under the thread in the 1st gap between the R. Once again pass the needle through the 1st R. Pass the needle through it again and secure the 2nd R. Proceed in a similar manner until the next column is shorter by more R.

D – If the next column is shorter, pass the needle through the outer R of the previous column one more time.

E – The projections for the feet.
String 2x R as in the protruding column. Pass the needle through them one more time from the 2nd R to the 1st R. Secure (sew under) the thread at the edge of the previous column. Pass the needle through the R again from the 1st R to the 2nd R. Sew through the edge and continue sewing the 6th column.
