Bring the needle up at F, move up 1 canvas thread and over to the left 1 canvas thread, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at H, move up 3 canvas threads and over to the right 2 canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at I, move up 1 canvas thread and over to the left 1 canvas thread, bring the needle down at J.

For the second row, we begin at the bottom and work up the canvas. Bring the needle up at A, move down 3 canvas threads and over to the right 2 canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move down 1 canvas thread and over to the left 1 canvas thread, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move down 3 canvas threads and over to the right 2 canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Bring the needle up G, move down 1 canvas thread and over to the left 1 canvas thread, bring the needle down at F. Continue in this manner until the row is complete.
