The Finished Cross Stitch

Cross Stitch is very familiar to any cross stitcher, but it is also used in needlepoint as a decorative, textured stitch. It is worked similarly to cross stitch on fabric, and can be worked over any number of threads in the canvas.

In this example, it is worked over two threads.
