Cashmere Stitch (Vertical 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 completes the first vertical cashmere stitch.
Starting where we left off at H, move down 2 canvas threads and over to the left 2 canvas threads and bring the needle up at I. Move up diagonally to the right across 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at G. Continue in this manner until the second stitch is completed at P.
Now, we move on to the next row of stitches. Beginning where we left off at P, move down 1 canvas thread and over to the right 1 canvas thread and bring the needle up at Q. Move up diagonally to the right across 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at R. Move to the left over 2 canvas threads and down 1 canvas thread, bring the needle up at S. Move up diagonally to the right across 2 canvas intersections and bring the needle down at T. Continue in this manner until the row of vertical stitches are complete.
