Cross Stitch - Diagonal Method:
Bring the needle up at A, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at B. Bring the needle up at C, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at D. Bring the needle up at E, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at D. Bring the needle up at A, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at F. At this point, the diagonal part of the stitching begins. Beginning where we left off at F, move left under 1 canvas thread and bring the needle up at D. Go left across 1 canvas intersection and bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at B, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at G.
You may turn the canvas and work the stitches or work the stitches from top to bottom. Just be sure to work the cross stitches so that they appear consistant.
