Open chain Stitch

1.  Bring the needle up at A.  Hold the thread out to the right.  Take the needle back in at B and partially out at C.  Make sure the thread is round the back and under the needle before pulling the thread through.

2.  Now push the needle through again at and bring it partially up at E, again ensuring that your thread is round the back and under the needle before you pull it through to form your second chain. REPEAT steps 1 and 2 to form an open chain
