Pansy in Silk Ribbon Embroidery

 

There are a few ways to work a Pansy flower, this is my first go to.

Begin by marking a small circle with your water erasable pen

 or a pencil. With your Ribbon Stitches keep your nail on 

them as pulling the needle through, you want them as full

 and rounded at the tip as possible.

Step 1:  Place 3 Ribbon Stitches ( 10, 12 and 2 o'clock)

 Fill the 2 spaces in between. ( 11 and 1 o'clock ).

Step 2: With the 2nd. colour place two

 Ribbon Stitches as shown.

Step 3:  1 Ribbon Stitch at 6 o'clock and 2 more in the

 spaces at 7 and 5 o'clock. Leaves in Ribbon Stitch.

Step 4: French Knot in 7 mm. Golden Yellow.

 Some markings in Black Embroidery Thread.

Step 5: Stem Stitch in Green for the stem of the bud. 

1 Ribbon Stitch hanging downwards with 2 smaller 

Green Ribbon Stitches cupping the bud.

Take some time to experiment with these, they are well

 worth the effort and are an excellent addition to your 

embroideries. They can be stitched with fewer 

ribbon stitches and not so full.

Just keep this in mind when marking the centre ring.
