Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 346 - 350

Here is the Sunbonnet Sue sampler for stitches 346 - 350.

It was #349 Lantern Stitch that set the theme - Sue as a teenager, snogging her boyfriend Sam under a street lamp.

The two cross stitches, #348 Freeform Cross and #350 Over-Under Cross, were useful for a starry sky. 

The Canvas stitch #347 John Stitch turned out to be great for Sue's winter coat, a quilted down coat.

I also like #346 Double Lazy Daisy Stitch for Sue's wavy hair. Believe it or not, but Sam's shaggy hair is made up of a staggered mass of #348 Freeform Cross.

Other stitches are the Stem Stitch and Whipped Back Stitch.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 350: Over-Under Cross Stitch

The first stitch for 2026 will be a type of cross stitch that I found on Farzana's Embroidery. You can see her video here:

Like most of these 'short' mobile phone videos, this one is too speedy. 

For a slower step-by-step tutorial, have a look at my photos below:

First, you need four simple stitches. 

Change to a different colour thread.

After you have made three loops, 

anchor the stitch.

Come out again, to work the horisontal loops.

From now on, you need to pay attention to 

whether you have to go over or under the 

vertical loops.

Here you can see how the working thread

is weaving over and under the vertical loops.

After three loops, anchor the stitch.

The completed cross. Isn't it neat?
