Here is another stitch based on Straight Stitch. It is a canvas stitch and goes under the name of Damask Darning Stitch.
It is included in Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches, i.e. there is an illustration of the finished result, but not the stitch order. To see how it is stitched, I suggest you check out this video from fireandirisneedlepoint:

This one has an elegant name. I like how it looks on the aida cloth with four colors.
