Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 60: Petal Stitch

Sunday Stitch School today presents yet another stitch based on the Stem and Chain Stitches - the Petal Stitch.
I have found no Swedish name. Is there a name in your language? If you know, please leave a comment.
Updated 1: Mattia has kindly supplied me with the French name: Point de Chaînette Bouclette.
Updated 2: Deepa has reminded me that there is another name for this stitch, Pendant Chain Stitch. Also that, rather than a Stem Stitch, it is an Outline Stitch that forms the first part of the stitch. Deepa also has a great tutorial for this stitch, click here to read.
I am so grateful for any informative comments.

This is a well-known stitch and can be found in several stitch dictionaries. It makes a very pretty line of drop-shaped petals hanging from a line.

Make it like this:








I think it looks best on a curve.
