Hitomezashi Pattern #5

Hitomezashi Pattern Draft
  • Horizontal lines: A, B, A, B, A, B …
  • Vertical lines: A, B, A, B, A, B …
  • Diagonal lines: from the point of the square to the middle 

Where

  • A: up – down – up – down …
  • B: down – up – down – up …

This will be a quite dense pattern, and only one diagonal is stitched, so make sure that the tension is even because you will end up with a distorted square.

Steps:

  • First, we stitch the horizontal lines
