Tutorial: Lentil stitch

Nat of the smallest forest coined the name lentil stitch for her improvised circular stitch. She says, “Because the stitches rotate around the shape, the tension pulls the circumference in evenly, keeping the circle shape very nicely. But what I love most of all about this adapted rhodes stitch is the way it forms a raised center in the circle, making a really pronounced little nubbin, very much like a split pea or lentil.” And she’s sharing the technique with us.
