RYA STITCH
The Rya Stitch is also known as The Single Knotted Stitch. This stitch creates the texture of carpet pile. After the stitches are worked,
Rya Stitch (Diagram 1):
Insert the needle down at A, leaving a small length of yarn dangling free. Bring the needle up at B, move to the right across three canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Bring the needle up at D, create a loop, bring the needle down at E. (You will need to hold the loop in place.) Bring the needle up at C, move to the right across three canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up G, create a loop OVER the right side of the previous loop, bring the needle down H. Continue in this manner until the row is complete. At that time, you may want to cut the loops - or wait until the work is finished. The next row will be worked directly under the first row. This will prevent any canvas from showing.
Rya Stitch (Diagram 2):
This diagram illustrates how the loops should look after they have been cut.

the loops are cut to create the "carpet pile" appearance. This stitch may be worked on Mono or Penelope Canvas. The demonstration below is on Mono Canvas. Two diagrams have been used to demonstrate this 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.
