brick stitch

Offset row beading

Brick stitch is a needlework technique where stitches are offset like bricks in a wall, each row staggered against the one below.

Used in embroidery and beadwork, it creates a textured, interlocking pattern: She worked the flower petals in brick stitch for a smoother gradient.

The technique allows for shaping and gradual color transitions.
