Rosette of Thorns is also known as

How to do the Rosette of Thorns
Rosette of thorns is a decorative variation of Blanket Stitch. It is a fine example of how Blanket Stitches can be varied in length and angles to make different effects.

| Fig 1: We begin like we would the Blanket Stitch. The only change would be in the angles and the length variations of each stitch. Follow the alphabets for the sequence. After a series of five stitches, we give a gap and move to a similar sequence of five more stitches. | Fig 2: A finished portion of the stitch would look like this. This can be topped with stitches like the french knots or oyster stitch. |
