This stitch can be worked on canvas or as a filling stitch on linen. It
is more often used as a count stitch. It is a simple stitch involving
one vertical cross and one diagonal.
To work this stitch a horizontal stitch is made and then a vertical
passing through the center of the horizontal making a plus sign. And
this is then diagonally crossed like a simple cross stitch. The center
of each stitch should be same and each stitch should be same length or
cover the same thread count.
The stitch can be used with slight modification. Two horizontal
stitches are crossed with two vertical stitches. Then with two diagonal
stitches in each direction the stitch is complete.
