TRIPLE CROSS STITCH
The Triple Cross Stitch consists of two oblong cross stitches worked
over a large regular cross stitch. This stitch may be resized to fit almost any project. However, as with any large cross stitch (or any other large stitch) it is important to maintain an even tension, to prevent snagging of the yarn. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
Triple Cross Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over four canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the left over four canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Triple Cross Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at D, bring the needle up at A, move up over four canvas threads and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at C, move up over four canvas threads and to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Triple Cross Stitch (Diagram 3):
Beginning where we left off at E, bring the needle up at F, move up over four canvas threads and to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at F, move up over four canvas threads and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. This completes the Triple Cross Stitch.
