Woven Pattern Stitch Instructions & Diagram
You can see the diagram of this stitch below.
- It is worked with both vertical and horizontal lines, alternately
- The tricky part about this stitch is to count the spaces in between the stitches correctly
- You have to be alternative in the beginning, but once you start you will see that the pattern repeats itself making it easier to count
- A helpful tip for this stitch is to work multiple rows in only one direction, so you create a "guide" to insert the other direction of stitches
- You can start with the direction that is more comfortable for you, vertical or horizontal
