It is time for a canvas stitch, don't you think? Today we will learn the simple Cashmere Stitch - four slanted stitches of two different lengths.
A good diagram can be found at The Needle Point Teacher.
Here is my photo tutorial.
Homework: Try it out on the three usual samplers, as well as the Canvas Work Sampler.
Better use waste canvas for the plain weave.

This is a very neat stitch, in the same family as Mosaic stitch. There's also a Condensed version, worked diagonally, which has one short stitch between the pairs of long ones. It creates a sort of corded diagonal line.
ReplyDeleteAnother great filler stitch with lots of possibilities
