Framed Cashmere Stitch Instructions & Diagram
You can see the diagram of this stitch below.
- Start making a sequence of five tent stitches, one below the previous one
- At the end, make three tent stitches to the left of the last stitch of the first step
- Next, move the needle (behind the canvas) one canvas thread to the right and make a new tent stitch
- Move one canvas thread to the left and make a stitch by skipping two canvas intersections, then make another by starting a canvas hole upward
- At the end of the last stitch, move the needle two canvas threads to the left and one down
- Repeat the process as many times as necessary creating a "frame" around of the Cashmere Stitch
