Rhodes Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over six canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over six 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 six canvas threads and to the right over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Rhodes Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at H, bring the needle up at I, move up over six canvas threads and to the left over two canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up over six canvas threads and to the left over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move to the right over six canvas intersections, bring the needle down at N. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Rhodes Stitch (Diagram 3):
Beginning where we left off at N, bring the needle up at O, move up over four canvas threads and to the left over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up over two canvas theads and to the left over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up S, move to the left over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at T. Bring the needle up at U, move down over two canvas threads and to the left over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at V. Bring the needle up at W, move down over four canvas threads and to the left over six canvas threads, bring the needle down at X. This completes the first Rhodes Stitch. Now, continue on to Diagram 4...
