Variation 1
This stitch uses a two-part process where you stitch the “stalks” and then gather them together into the sheaf shape. The number of stalks can vary depending on the space you are trying to fill, so experiment with 3, 4, or 5 stalks. Try varying the length of the center stalks to create a taller stitch.
Variation 2
You can also layer them to fill in an entire area as shown in this example.
