Crossed Blanket Stitch is part of the blanket stitch family. It is a cross over between the blanket stitch and the closed blanket stitch.

What you will need?

  • Any fabric.
  • Embroidery hoop, 15cm (6″) (Bigger if you are working on a larger design) ( You can purchase a set of 6 hoops from Amazon for your basic needs.)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Embroidery thread (You can buy this pack of 36 shades of the DMC embroidery floss.)

How many strands of floss do you need for making the Crossed Blanket Stitch?

You can use all 6 strands of the floss. But if you are working on a finer design, then start with 2 strands of floss and increase the number of strands according to your design. I have used all 6 strands of floss for this design.

Step by Step Pictorial Process of making the Crossed Blanket Stitch

1. We will work this stitch on 2 parallel lines. Start by bringing the thread up at point A on the upper line. Insert from point B on the lower line to point C on the upper line in a diagonal way like shown in the above picture.
