Tutorial: Woven cross stitch

This stitch is one of the easy stitch for the beginners.
You can find my projects  with this stitch here and here.


To begin with work one regular cross stitch.
Bring up the needle at point A', down at B' and up at  point C', down at point D'. One cross is formed.
Now bring up the needle at point A' and Down B'. Here the stitch sits on the previous stitch. In this picture I just pull the thread to show you.
 Now bring up the needle at point C'.
Before your thread going down at point D pass the thread under the previous stitch like in the picture. This is where exactly the weaving starts.
 So one woven cross stitch is formed.
 Now on the under over process continues as in regular weaving.
