Oblique Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Oblique Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at F, bring the needle up at G, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. This completes the first row. To start the second row, we begin at the left and work left to right, again. Bring the needle up at K, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at L, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at M, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at I. Bring the needle up at N, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at O. Bring the needle up at P, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at Q. To start the third row, we begin at the left and work left to right, again. Bring the needle up at R, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at M. Bring the needle up at S, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at T, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at U, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at V. This completes the regular oblique stitch. Filling stitches should be used where necessary. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Oblique Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how the oblique stitch should look when worked with only one thread in between. This creates a fuller look. Filling stitches are shown here in dark blue. Click on the Printable Version icon, below, to print these diagrams and instructions.
