Embroidery Cross Stitch

A stitch adapted for working on canvas or coarse linen. It has three forms:

(a) Half-cross stitch;

(b) Whole-cross stitch;

(c) Double-cross stitch.

The whole stitch forms a perfect square. The crossings must be uniform, ie, the top halves must all slant in the same direction, likewise the bottom halves. Double-cross stitch must be worked over an uneven number of threads to allow a space for the horizontal central cross, as in (c).
