Cross stitch

double cross stitch Bring the needle through on the lower right and take it through to the back one block up and one block to the left, bringing it through to the front again one block down to form a half cross. Continue in this way tothe end of the row, then complete the upper section of the cross. Cross stitch can be worked from right to left, as shown, or from left to right, but it is important that the upper half of each cross lies in one direction.
