Algerian Eye Daisy Stitch - Diagram 1:
Bring the needle up at A, move to the left over three canvas threads and bring the needle down at B (this is the center hole of the stitch). Bring the needle up at C, move down one canvas thread and to the left over three canvas threads, bring the needle down at B (the center hole, again). Bring the needle up at D, move down two canvas threads and to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at E, move down three canvas threads and to the left over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at F, move down three canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at G, move down three canvas threads and to the right over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at H, move down two canvas threads and to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at I, move down one canvas thread and to the right over three canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Continue working in this manner until you have completed the circle through the Q-B stitch. At that point, continue on to Diagram 2...
Algerian Eye Daisy Stitch - Diagram 2:
This diagram illustrates how the smaller eye stitches are worked in between the larger algerian eye daisy stitches. (These smaller stitches and back stitches are illustrated in dark blue.) Once the smaller eye stitches have been added, you may then fill in the spaces with back stitches, as illustrated here. Alternately, you may also choose one of the two variations that we have illustrated below.
