Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at N. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Alternating Satin Stitch (Diagram 2):
The second row should be worked in the opposite direction of the first row. Beginning where we left off at N, bring the needle up at O, move up and to the left over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at M. Bring the needle up at P, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at K. Bring the needle up at Q, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at I. Bring the needle up at R, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at G. Bring the needle up at S, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at T, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at C. This completes the alternating satin stitch.
