The origin of this beautiful stitch seems to be a mystery‎.‎ The original designers are believed to be a mother and daughter from Bavaria‎.‎ Although they never wrote out a pattern‎,‎ many have attempted to preserve its beauty by writing instructions without any knowledge of its history‎.‎ This perfect 2 round stitch allows any color combination to work together in harmony because of its unique textured color overlap‎.‎ Jenny King felt it was time to share the technique with the rest of the world and has written clear detailed step‎-by‎-step instructions ‎- transforming the original square into rectangles‎,‎ triangle and circles‎,‎ along with 8 wonderful designs‎.‎
