Hardanger Filling Stitches – buttonhole eyelet at intersection

In this sample from the Hardanger Filling Stitch sampler in my new book Hardanger Filling Stitches, we can see a buttonhole eyelet. This is another example of a stitch that can be worked on an intersection.

This is a single buttonhole eyelet, which is worked as a focal point in a section of needleweaving. They could be worked across entire sections on every intersection if you wish. I will just caution you to say that “just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should”! In the right circumstance it could look great, but across a whole section, it could end up being way too much!

We’re part way through a series exploring the stitches that are featured in my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches. If this is the first post you’ve seen in the series, have a look for the others.

Hardanger Filling Stitches by Yvette Stanton, will be arriving in Australia in December 2023, New Zealand shortly after that, UK in February 2024, and the US in March. You can order it from your favourite needlework store, worldwide. If they don’t know where to get it from, you can ask them to contact me, and I will direct them accordingly.

Vetty Creations have supplies packs for the Hardanger Filling Stitch sampler featured in the book.
