LOOP STITCH
The Loop Stitch is a variation of the Buttonhole Stitch. The most important rule of this stitch is to "maintain an even tension". This is not a tied stitch
Loop Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, follow the red arrows in the above diagram, take the yarn under the canvas thread where noted and create the first loop. Hold the loop in place while you bring the needle down at B. Continue holding the first loop and bring the needle up at C. Create the second loop by working the yarn OVER the yarn of the first loop but UNDER the canvas thread. This second loop will anchor the first loop. Hold the second loop in place while you bring the needle down at D. Continue holding the second loop and bring the needle up at E. Create the third loop by working the yarn OVER the yarn of the second loop but UNDER the canvas thread. This third loop will anchor the second loop. Hold the third loop in place while you bring the needle down at F. If the loops appear to be crooked when you are finished with the row, simply adjust them with your fingernail until they appear even.
and must, therefore, be held in place while you work the next stitch. One diagram has been used to demonstrate this stitch.
