  Step 1

  Start using a base of Hedebo buttonhole stitch - https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/hedebo-embroidery

  Bring the needle out at the starting point, then insert the needle after the next stitch to the right.

• 

  Step 2

  Work Hedebo buttonhole stitch onto the base. Note: In the example photos, the thread is left loose to show it clearly, but tighten the thread when you stitch.

• 

  Step 3

  Work the desired quantity of Hedebo buttonhole stitches. Four stitches are shown in this example.

• 

  Step 4

  After working one row, go back to the first stitch and insert the needle from back to front.

• 

  Step 5

  Pull the thread so that it sits horizontally. Do not tighten it too much—it should not pull the ends of the row in.

• 

  Step 6

  Take the needle under the horizontal thread and the stitch next to the first one.

• 

  Step 7

  Work Hedebo buttonhole stitch to create the second row.

• 

  Step 8

  The second row should have one less stitch than the previous row. Three stitches are shown in this example.

• 

  Step 9

  Go back to the first stitch of the row and insert the needle from back to front.

• 

  Step 10

  Continue working one less Hedebo buttonhole stitch to complete each subsequent row. This will create the triangular shape.

• 

  Step 11

  To complete the last row, draw the thread upward and make the tip sharp.

• 

  Step 12

  Insert the needle through the rightmost stitch of the previous row, from back to front.

• 

  Step 13

  Insert the needle through the rightmost stitch one row lower, from back to front. Continue in this manner to stitch down row by row.

• 

  Step 14

  At the end, insert the needle at the base of the pyramid.

• 

  Step 15

  When you actually sew, remember to make the stitches tight, as shown here.
