RAY STITCH
The Ray Stitch consists of stitches that radiate from one canvas hole. Keep this in mind when selecting the yarn. The yarn must be thin enough to pass through the same canvas

Bring the needle up at C, move up over three canvas threads and to the left over one canvas thread, bring the needle down at B (again).

Expanded Ray Stitch (Diagram 2):
This diagram illustrates how the next Expanded Ray Stitch and a second row of Expanded Ray Stitches should be worked.
 
hole mulitple times without distorting the
canvas. When complete, the Ray Stitch
creates a "Square" appearance. We have also
demonstrated the Expanded Ray Stitch. When complete, the Expanded Ray stitch creates a "rectangle" appearance. For a more interesting look, try alternating colors for each Ray Stitch. Note: this stitch is similar to the Fan Stitch. The difference is in the ways in which the rows are worked. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate the ray stitch and two diagrams have been used to demonstrate the expanded ray stitch. Clicking on the PRINTABLE VERSION icon, located at the end of the series of diagrams, will direct you to the page to print these instructions.
