Starter Fluted Columns Stitch The Fluted Columns Stitch, and it's cousin Fluted Twist (or Spiral), are probably the most complex Scoubidou Stitches you can do. Although complex, they aren't that hard, if you take your time. These stitches are actually 3 stitches in one. Fluted Columns is a SuperBrick stitch, with two Square Stitches along for the ride. To get started, you're going to need SIX (6) strands of scoubidou, 4 of which are at least 3 feet long, and 2 which are at least 5 feet long. The longer strands should ALWAYS be 2 feet longer than your shorter strands to insure you don't run out of these strands before you run out of the shorter strands. Set aside two of the shorter strands, and use one of the longer strands as the center strand of three that will cross the first long strand when starting the SuperBrick Stitch. The first step to starting a Fluted Columns is to start a SuperBrick Stitch.
Here's the SuperBrick started. The purple strand, between the yellow and green, is the second long strand of scoubidou. The black one also shown here is the first long strand.
Now do another stitch of SuperBrick, but leave this stitch loose...
