Slanted Gobelin Stitch Instructions & Diagram

You can see the diagram of this stitch below. 

  • Secure your thread on the backside of the canvas by making a small knot.
  • Insert the needle from the back of the canvas to the front.
  • Count two canvas threads down and one canvas thread to the left. This will determine the length of your stitch.
  • Insert the needle down through the canvas at the designated intersection, making sure to leave a loop of thread on the surface.
  • Insert the needle back through the canvas at the next intersection to the right of the first stitch.
  • Repeat the steps, working diagonally across the canvas, until you reach the end of the row.
  • Once you reach the end of the row, reverse the direction and work back across the canvas in the opposite diagonal direction.
