Cashmere Stitch (Diagonal Method):
This stitch may be worked left to right or right to left. In this demonstration, we will be working left to right. Bring the needle up at A, go up diagonally to the right over 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at B. Move over to the left 1 canvas thread and down 2 canvas threads. Bring the needle up at C. Go up diagonally to the right over 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at D. Move over to the left 2 canvas threads and down 3 canvas threads and bring the needle up at E. Go up diagonally to the right over 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at F. Mover over to the left 1 canvas thread and down 2 canvas threads. Bring the needle up at G. Go up diagonally to the right over 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at H. This completes the first Cashmere Stitch.
Starting where we left off at H, move down 2 canvas threads and bring the needle up at I. Go up diagonally to the right over 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at J. Continue working this stitch in the same manner as the first, until you bring the needle down at P.
The second row is worked in the opposite direction (bottom to top). Starting where we left off at P, go up 2 canvas threads and move to the left over 1 canvas thread. Bring the needle up at J. Go up diagonally to the right over 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at Q. Move to the left over 2 canvas threads and down 1 canvas thread, bringing the needle up at U. Go up diagonally to the right over 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at R. Continue in this manner until row is complete.
