This is kind of woven effect is done with the interlacing stitch over the basic kutch stitch.
Things to remember-
1. the thickness of the thread depends on the size of the basic square.
2. After the pattern is filled with the stitch, the cloth on which it is done should not be seen. The thread weaving should cover the whole pattern.
3. Important- the thread path- the thread always goes up and down alternatively, this keeps the embroidery intact.looks attractive also. If there are mistakes, it is visible to the eye, and the finished look is not good.
4. take time to draw the design as perfect and neat as possible, otherwise it is difficult to – move around- and simultaneously rectify the original design.
practice a lot. understanding is better that way
It starts with the basic kutch filling pattern.This stitch can be worked only on closed filling kutch pattern and not on open patterns. For this the basic stitch is-
basic woven square pattern
The normal kutch filling looks like this-
normal interlacing
The woven kutch filling has this effect-
woven interlacing
The patterns are done big for photographic purposes only! That the threads going above and below can be seen clearly with the spaces in between. Remember , if the pattern is worked like this, it looks ugly!
Now for the actual working-
starting
The base stitch in blue-
base st-1
Step-1
base st-2
Step-2
base st completed
The similarity with the normal stitch ends here.
I have worked the same base stitch with space in between to see the weaving of the interlacing stitch-
base stitch
Start at the same point as the normal interlacing stitch, but instead of turning at right angle at the next square, go straight, across the middle space, to the opposite square. Remember to weave up and down on the base stitch.

Is it possible to get instructions on how to start and weave the patterns mentioned above. I know how to do the regular kutch pattern. My friend taught me another pattern called round Kutch. I can share round kutch instructions with you.
Thank you, Lakshmi

Lakshmi, the pattern explained is the most basic pattern. the starting is the same as regular kutch pattern. Try this out, if and when you have doubts , I ‘ll try to help you. Iam also planning to post some small motifs in woven kutch style . You can try them too.This is the first time I am reading about this round kutch, if you can share the picture, it ‘ll be great.
thank you,
