![]() On the following row you then work up into the first, placing your stitches in between the existing ones. Alternating Straight GobelinĪ variation is to leave a gap between each stitch. ![]() This can make lovely hair or animal fur in a needlepoint design, besides being a wonderful background filling stitch. Changing from one color to another gives a softer shaded effect than the abrupt change obvious in the basic gobelin variation. Worked similarly to the slanted variation, the stitches in the left-hand sample in the same photo encroach, or overlap, on the previous row by one canvas thread. I just wanted to make it clearer for you to see the individual stitches. You would want to use a thicker yarn than the one I used to stitch this sample. ![]() Again, I worked the stitches over 3 canvas threads, but the needle goes down one stitch to the right, giving the stitch a slant. The right-hand sample in the photo above shows slanted gobelin stitch.
