Continental Stitch - Horizontal Method (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at J. This completes the first row of Continental Stitches. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Continental Stitch - Horizontal Method (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at J, leave the needle and yarn where they are, turn the canvas completely around and begin working the second row the exact same way the first row was worked. (Please note: Diagram 2 is shown in it's orignal state (not-turned-upside-down).
Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at M. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at O. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at P. This completes the second row of Continental Stitches. To start a third row, turn the canvas completely around and continue working in the same manner.
