Diagonal Cross Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at A (again), move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at C. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Diagonal Cross Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at C, bring the needle up at D, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Although it does not yet look finished, this completes the first diagonal cross stitch. As additional stitches are added, you will see how each addition adds to the finished look. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Diagonal Cross Stitch (Diagram 3):
Beginning where we left off at C, bring the needle up at D, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at D (yes, again), move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at F, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. This completes the second diagonal cross stitch. Now, continue on to Diagram 4...
Diagonal Cross Stitch (Diagram 4):
As you can see from this diagram, each diagonal cross stitch completes the previous diagonal cross stitch. You will need to add additional stitches (half-cross or upright cross) to complete any unfinished areas when you are done.
