How To Read A Cross Stitch Pattern Easy Counted Cross Stitch In black and white patterns, look for arrows in the shape of little triangles at the top and left of the chart that point to gridlines. where those gridlines cross is the center stitch. finding the center of your fabric is easy. fold in half, rotate 90 degrees, and fold in half again. unfold the entire piece of fabric, and where the folds cross. To make your first cross stitch, follow these steps: prepare your fabric: we use evenweave fabric, holding it taut in an embroidery hoop. thread the needle: cut a length of embroidery floss about 45 centimetres long and separate it into strands as recommended by your pattern. thread your needle with the appropriate number of strands. Come up through the hole in the fabric where you intend to make the stitch and make a stitch into the next hole in the fabric. pull the thread through and then come up with your needle and thread through the next hole in the fabric. go back down the hole where the last stitch ended. repeat the desired length. Count six (6) spaces and do one more stitch, count five (5) spaces and do one more stitch, then count six (6) and do one more stitch. take your needle down to the lower right space and do the right to left diagonal stitch to make each of these stitches into cross stitches. here is the second row complete.
