To work the first half of the stitch, make a vertical (straight) cross stitch over 4 canvas threads, working from bottom (1) to top (2), and then left (3) to right (4).
Work the second half of the stitch as for a standard cross stitch, working over 2 intersections of canvas from lower right (5) to upper left (6), and then lower left (7) to upper right (8).
If you would like to add this stitch to your stitch journal, see step 3.
