CONDENSED SCOTCH STITCH
Condensed Scotch Stitch (Diagram 1):
Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at J. Bring the needle up at K, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at L. Bring the needle up at M, move up and to the right over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at N. Bring the needle up at O, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at P. Bring the needle up at Q, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at R. Bring the needle up at S, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at T. Bring the needle up at U, move up and to the right over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at V. Bring the needle up at W, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at X. Bring the needle up at Y, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at Z. This completes the first row of Condensed Scotch Stitches. Now, continue on to Diagram 2...
Condensed Scotch Stitch (Diagram 2):
Beginning where we left off at the end of the first row, we work the second row from bottom to top. In order to make this demonstration easier to follow, the first row of stitches is shown in light blue and the second row of stitches is shown in dark blue. Bring the needle up at A, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at B. Bring the needle up at C, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at D. Bring the needle up at E, move up and to the right over three canvas intersections, bring the needle down at F. Bring the needle up at G, move up and to the right over two canvas intersections, bring the needle down at H. Bring the needle up at I, move up and to the right over one canvas intersection, bring the needle down at J. Continue working in this manner until the end of the row. The next row will be worked from top to bottom, like the first row. Diagram 3 illustrates how this stitch should look when complete.
Condensed Scotch Stitch (Diagram 3)
This diagram illustrates how a large area of condensed scotch stitches should look when complete.
The Condensed Scotch Stitch is a variation of the Scotch Stitch. This
version of the Scotch stitch should always be worked diagonally. Other variations of the scotch stitch include the alternating scotch stitch, the crossed scotch stitch and the woven scotch stitch. Three diagrams have been used to demonstrate this stitch.
