Step 1: Outline one side of the petal with stem stitch from bottom to the tip.
Step 2 : Make a small foundation stitch on the other side.
Step 3: Come up at the tip again.
Step 4 : Stem stitch the remaining portion.
Step 4 : Come up at the top ,at the position shown in the picture below.
Step 5 : Insert the needle carefully into the foundation stitch as shown below.
Step 6 : Wrap the thread around the needle over and under. Pull the thread through to form the knot.
Step 7: Go down to complete the first row.
Step 8 : Come up again on the left side,slightly below the first row. Insert the needle into the bar formed by the previous knot. Repeat this process throughout. As the width of the petal increases,the number of stitches will also increase.
For the completed petals and flower, see this post.
