This stitch is also called as a spider wheel stitch since it gives an appearance of a spider web and the ribs of it are raised.
A wonderful and yet a simple stitch which can be worked out very easily
1. Draw an even or odd number of foundation straight stitches as i have shown

7.Having whipped this stitch go down under the next stitch and whip it.
WHIPPING IS WRAPPING THE THREAD ON THE STITCH i.e., GO BELOW A STITCH ,COME UP ON THE SAME STITCH ANS AGAIN GO BELOW IT
