Mound Stitch (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 C. At this point, the canvas should be turned upside down to begin the third row. Before beginning the third row, continue on to Diagram 2...
Mound Stitch (Diagram 2):
Now that the canvas is turned upside down, we will begin where we left off at C. Bring the needle up at F, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at H, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at H. Again, we need to turn the canvas before continuing. This time the canvas should be turned sideways as illustrated in Diagram 3...
Mound Stitch (Diagram 3):
Now that the canvas is turned sideways, we will begin where we left off at H. Bring the needle up at J, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at K. Again, we need to turn the canvas before continuing. As with the first triangle of stitches, we will need to turn the canvas upside down to work this last row. Once the canvas is turned, bring the needle up at N and continue working until the row is complete. Now, continue on to Diagram 4...
Mound Stitch (Diagram 4):
This diagram illustrates how the mound stitch should look when complete. The number of rows in each triangle may vary according to personal choice or project. For this demonstration, we have chosen to use groups of three.
