BRASILEIRINHO Stitch
(Small Brazilian Stitch)

Is used to fill in carpet backgrounds or to highlight embossing in panels. It is also very attractive when worked on cushions or carpets displaying geometric motifs.

Start with two Arraiolo stitches (fig. 1 a 4), and then, extend a row above and forward (fig.5), repeating 2 Arraiolo stitches (figures 6-7-8); once again extend a row above and forward and continue until the completion of the work. The result is a diagonal row. To restart the work, continue below, alongside the initial row.
