If you want to change things up from the usual stockinette stitch or Figure 8 stitch, try the wonderfully textured criss cross stitch! This two-row repeat is easy to master, and my video will make everything a breeze.
What you need to know for the criss cross stitch
Just remember:
- Row 1: 1 – 4 – 3
- Row 2: 1 – 3 – 2
Row 1
Wrap peg 1 at the top, then peg 4 on the bottom, then peg 3 at the top. Then wrap every other along each row. Then turn around and go left, wrapping every peg you missed.
Row 2
Wrap peg 1 at the top, then peg 3 on the bottom, then peg 2 at the top. Again, wrap every other peg to the right. Then turn around and go left, wrapping every peg you missed.
