Jacquard Stitch Instructions & Diagram
You can see the diagram of this stitch below.
- Start with a horizontal row of four diagonal stitches, each over one intersection of the canvas
- Use the last diagonal stitch as the first of a vertical row and complete with three more, each over one intersection, and follow this pattern as often as necessary
- For the longer pattern, start with a horizontal row of three diagonal stitches, each over two intersections of the canvas
- At the end of that row, start a vertical row with the same characteristics
- Note that the bottom stitch of a row and the top stitch of the row below must be in the same hole of the canvas
- At the end of this row, repeat step 1. This will alternate between the larger pattern and the smaller one
