TAST week 27 - Bonnet stitch

 This week's TAST challenge Bonnet stitch, another new stitch for me.  First I struggled to get the technique, when I got it, I found it very interesting.
 First row: from right to left version
second row: from left to right version.  I add seed beads in between stitches.
third row: up and down version
fourth row: bonnet stitch with french knots
 top row: bonnet stitch with whipped chevron stitch.
In circle:  inside the bonnet circle I add kutch work and kunden stone.

 Bonnet stitch with buttonhole stitch.

I need more practice to get perfection.
