Palestrina Knot is the next stitch from http://pintangle.com The green is perle cotton #8 done in a regular manner but changing the length of the bite. Under it, I tried two rows in a curve. The violet is ribbon floss done randomly.
First the brown was stitched; then the yellow was stitched over it alternating the placing. Finally, I used my fuzzy yarn.
This is a jacket I bought years ago in Santa Barbara when a friend and I went up to shop. It was plain, so I decorated it using my usual method of working on small pieces of felted wool and then applying them to the jacket. 
To intergrate the pieces, I stitched a row of Palestrina around each of them. The beads were added directly to the jacket.
It's not a new piece but has lots of Palestrina stitch on it.

This stitch has so many faces - just change the thread!
I love the jacket! Well done.
That jacket is gorggeous - I'll bet you get a log of compliments when you wear that.
