Cross Stitch - Vertical Method:
Bring the needle up at A, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at B. Bring the needle up at C, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at D. Bring the needle up at E, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at C. Bring the needle up at F, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at A. Continue in this manner until row is complete. Before starting the next row, turn the canvas around. Following the previous instructions, continue working the stitch.
Cross Stitch - Alternate Vertical Method:
This stitch may also be worked in an alternate way. Bring the needle up at A, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at B. Now, instead of completing the cross stitch, start the next cross stitch. Beginning where we left off at B, bring the needle up at E, go left across 1 canvas intersection, down at C. Continue with G-F and I-H and K-J. Now start the return journey by bringing the needle up at L, go right across 1 canvas intersection, down at I. Continue in this manner until the row is complete.
