CZAR STITCH
The Czar Stitch is also known as the Economic Stitch. It is similar to the oblong cross stitch, except that it is worked vertically. Basically,
this stitch consists of a vertical row of diagonal stitches crossed by another row of diagonal stitches slanted in the opposite direction. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
Czar Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up over two canvas threads and to the left over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up over two canvas threads and to the left over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up over two canvas threads and to the left over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up over two canvas threads and to the left over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at H. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Czar Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at H, bring the needle up at I, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at E. Bring the needle up at H, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at C. Bring the needle up at F, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at A. Bring the needle up at D, move up over two canvas threads and to the right over four canvas threads, bring the needle down at J. Now, continue on to Diagram 3...
Czar Stitch (Diagram 3):
This diagram illustrates how the second row is worked into the first row. Remember, the czar stitch is worked vertically, with one journey of diagonal stitches crossed by a second journey of diagonal stitches.
