Embroider the bat

The bat is embroidered on using Swiss Darning (Duplicate Stitch). Use a single strand of black yarn and your darning needle. Each square on the chart represents a stitch. To embroider, thread your needle with black yarn. Secure the yarn end on the wrong side of the work.

Bring the needle to the right side of the work at the bottom of a stitch ‘V’.

Take the needle from one side of the top of the stitch ‘V’ to the other.
