Diagonal Leaf 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 C, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up over three canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Diagonal Leaf Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at J, we will start the second half of the diagonal leaf stitch. Bring the needle up at K, move to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at I. Bring the needle up at L, move down and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at I (again). Bring the needle up at M, move to the right over three canvas threads, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at N, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at O, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Bring the needle up at P, move to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at A. This completes the diagonal leaf stitch.
