This stitch can be worked individually, in rows or arranged as a fill pattern; it is usually used in black work.

Work a long vertical stitch: remove the needle at 1 and put it in 2. Make an elongated cross stitch, wider at the top than at the bottom, located a little above the vertical stitch, as shown in the photo: remove the needle at 3 and insert it at 4. Distance 3-2 is greater than 4-1. Take the needle out at 5 and put it in at 6.

Materials

• You need a sharp pointed needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
