Byzantine Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at T. Bring the needle up at U, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at V. Bring the needle up at W, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at X. Bring the needle up at Y, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at Z.
This completes the first row of Byzantine Stitches. Continue on to Diagram 2 to see how the next row is worked into the first...
Byzantine Stitch (Diagram 2):
The second row is worked into the first row from bottom to top. The next row and all subsequent rows would be worked in the opposite direction of the row before.
