Step 1Bring the needle up at A and down at B. Don’t pull the thread too tightly to leave a small loop. Bring the needle up at C – where you want your the base of your ‘V’ or bowl of the ‘Y’ – and loop it over the stitch you made between A and B.

Step 2Now pull the thread
to tighten the ‘V’ or ‘Y’ shape. Take the needle back down to D to make a ‘Y’; for the ‘V’, only take it just below point C, which will then complete the stitch.
