Velvet Stitch Diagram 8 (Penelope Canvas):
This diagram illustrates how the velvet stitch should be worked on penelope canvas. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C (spread the canvas threads apart under A to insert the needle), form a loop and bring the needle down at D. You will need to spread the canvas threads apart under B to insert the needle at D. Be sure to hold the loop in place. Then, bring the needle up at E, move up and to the left over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F (over the loop, holding it in place). This completes the velvet stitch on penelope canvas.
