Embroidery with Chain Stitches

If you want to embroider a motif once the knitting is finished, it's often best to use chain stitches. Use a thick, blunt needle and try not to pull the strand of yarn too tightly as you sew. Begin embroidering in the lower right corner of the motif. If the chain stitches have been embroidered correctly, the strands will be horizontal on the wrong side of the garment.
