Diagonal Scotch Stitch Instructions & Diagram

You can see the diagram of this stitch bellow.

The stitches are worked over one canvas thread, over two, over three and then over two again, and so on, until the end of the row.
This stitch is worked from top to bottom (diagonally) in one row, and from the bottom to top in the next one, alternately.
