It is necessary
- Embroidery scheme;
- Canvas;
- Hoop;
- Floss threads of all colors indicated in the scheme;
- A needle with a wide eye.
Instructions
Step 1
Hoop the canvas and place the outline in front of you.
Step 2
Determine by the symbols which thread color is used in the upper left square and adjacent to it. Take a skein of the corresponding color.
Step 3
Cut off about 50-60 cm of floss. Please note that one thread consists of 6 thinner ones. Separate three threads and insert into a needle.
Step 4
Insert a needle into the lower left hole of the upper left square. Leave a small ponytail (2-5 cm) on the inside. Enter the upper right hole of the square and pull the thread so that the ponytail on the wrong side does not shrink.
Step 5
Sew with these stitches from left to right as many squares as indicated by the symbol of this color on the diagram.
Step 6
Thread the needle into the lower right hole of the far right square and thread through the upper left hole. Sew the same squares in reverse with these stitches.
Step 7
Sew the second row from the top in the same way. If the color changes there, take threads of a different color.
