Broad chain stitch

broad chain stitch Bring the needle up at A and make a small straight stitch to B. Bring the needle up again 0.5 cm below B at C, and pass the needle under the straight stitch (not through the fabric) from right to left, taking it down again at C. Bring the needle through again at D and pass the needle under the loop you have just created, taking it down again at D. Continue in this way, following the design line.
