Comments

After working the row of Herringbone stitches, rotate the textile 180 degrees and stitch lacing around the crossed part of the stitches from left to right. Make two complete circles around each upper cross and one and a half circles around each of the lower crosses. Interlace the thread over and under both the foundation stitches and itself.
