The blank squares of a graph chart represent the holes in the canvas, the chart lines represent the canvas thread or ribs. The lines or symbols drawn onto the graph chart denote the stitches and, in some cases, the colors used When numbers are given, they usually tell you where to bring the needle up through the canvas, where to take it down and in what order to make the separate portions of a pattern stitch. An example of this is the Rick Rack stitch shown in the accompanying chart This is a fairly open stitch that allows some of the canvas to show and is best suited for colored canvas. I chose this stitch to illustrate that even multiple step stitches are quite easy if taken step by step. A single Rick Rack stitch is shown in the upper right hand corner of the chart Follow steps 1 through 8, bringing the needle up in the holes and taking it down holes.

Next, two straight stitches are made over the center of the cross (steps 5 through 8) The balance of the chart shows how adjoining stitches are placed Notice how the diagonal stitches share holes with other diagonal stitches and that the second row is staggered below the first. All rows would be worked like Row 1 and all rows like Row 2. After a row is completed, work the vertical straight stitches shown by broken lines in a contrast color.
