Cashmere Stitch (Condensed Method):
Again, this stitch may be worked from right to left or left to right. In this demonstration, we will be working from left to right. Bring the needle up at A. Move up diagonally to the right across 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at B. Move down 2 canvas threads and over to the left 1 canvas thread and bring the needle up at C. Move up diagonally to the right across 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at D. Move down 2 canvas threads and over to the left 2 canvas threads, bring the needle up at E. Move up diagonally to the right across 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at F. Move down 2 canvas threads and over to the left 1 canvas thread, bring the needle up at G. Move up diagonally to the right across 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at H. This is where the cashmere stitch becomes condensed. Instead of skipping a space and starting the next stitch, we continue with no space. Starting where we left off at H, move down 2 canvas threads and over to the left 1 canvas thread and bring the needle up at I. Continue in this manner until the row is complete at T.
